Some of the members of congress are totally falling for Altman's gambit. Sen. Graham kept asking about how a licensing regime would be a solution, which of course Altman loves, and kept interrupting Ms. Montgomery who tried to explain why that was not the best approach. Altman wants to secure his monopoly here and now. You can't have a licensing regime for AI - it doesn't make sense and he knows it. It would destroy the Open Source AI movement.
You need to control what data is allowed to be fed into paid AI model like OpenAI - can't eat a bunch of copyrighted material without express consent, for example. Or personally private information purchased from a data broker. Those kind of foundational rules would serve us all much better
