Mr Altman said a new agency should be formed to license AI companies.

ChatGPT and other similar programmes can create incredibly human-like answers to questions - but can also be wildly inaccurate. Mr Altman, 38, has become a spokesman of sorts for the burgeoning industry. He has not shied away from addressing the ethical questions that AI raises, and has pushed for more regulation.

阿尔特曼表示，应该成立一个新机构，为人工智能公司颁发许可证。ChatGPT和其他类似的程序可以提供与人类回答极度相似的答案来解决人们的问题，但这些答案也可能非常不准确。38岁的阿尔特曼可以说是这个新兴行业的代言人。他没有回避解决人工智能引发的道德问题，并主动推动更多监管。
