OpenAI calls for US to centralize AI regulation – Computerworld

From an enterprise IT perspective, the longshot proposal could be attractive — not necessarily from a weaker compliance perspective, but from having fewer rules to follow. More critically, the process would reduce having to follow rules that contradict each other.

Many enterprise IT executives work for multinationals. Even if their operations are solely in the US, they likely have operations and partners in other countries. That means that enterprises already have to deal with many AI compliance rules — especially in Australia, the EU, the UK, Canada and Japan — some of which are contradictory.

Valente said that despite OpenAI’s statement stressing simplicity, “It could create more complexity. Simplicity would be global cooperation. Enterprise IT leaders are asking, ‘What does this mean for the customers I already have in regions with very different requirements?’”
