[HIGHLIGHTS] Artificial intelligence: for the boss of OpenAI, the intervention of governments is "crucial"

Sam Altman, the boss of OpenAI, told a US parliamentary committee about the dangers of artificial intelligence. He proposed the creation of a new federal agency, responsible for granting permissions to organizations that develop AI systems of a certain level.

Altman: "Artificial intelligence has the potential to improve just about every aspect of our lives" But it also creates serious risks, he said, including job losses and intellectual property theft. The European Parliament is due to vote next month on new legislation to regulate AI.
