OpenAI’s Sam Altman just testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that Congress should reform liability laws and create a national or international body to license AI developers. Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, former presidential hopeful Andrew Yang and Elon Musk have joined 30,000 others in calling for a six-month pause in AI experiments.
