Governments grappling with AI's rapid development
The surge in AI technology's popularity and investment, particularly following the release of OpenAI's ChatGPT, has government agencies worldwide deliberating on how to mitigate potential risks. The rapid advancement in AI capabilities has led to an urgent need to understand and regulate this technology to ensure it serves the best interests of the public.
