OpenAI boss Sam Altman has wrapped up his bizarre "please regulate us" world tour in Melbourne late last week. It got very little coverage in the media, but here's an exclusive interview he gave with The Australian. Not much in there that we haven't heard already and doesn't give any specifics on how to regulate AI, but just that it's something that should be regulated based on how "risky" the AI is. Altman did however score a 40-minute meeting with federal Industry and Science minister Ed Husic, who claims to have "secured a commitment that OpenAI's models would be made available to Australian scientists and researchers", "ensuring there is early involvement in the pre-release of new generations". I'd love more detail on this so-called commitment from OpenAI.
