Summary
OpenAI’s leadership believes that an international regulatory body is needed to govern artificial intelligence as the technology is developing too rapidly for existing authorities to control.

Fact
đź’» Resources dedicated to AI research should be monitored and audited, says OpenAI. An international authority needs to inspect systems, require audits, test for compliance with safety standards, place restrictions on degrees of deployment and levels of security, and track compute power and energy usage dedicated to AI research to ensure safety.
