The release of ChatGPT last year captured the world’s attention because of its ability to generate human-like responses based on what it has learned from scanning vast amounts of online materials. “If there was still some that doubted as to whether we need something at all, I think the doubt was quickly vanished.” “Then ChatGPT kind of boom, exploded,” said Dragos Tudorache, a Romanian member of the European Parliament co-leading the measure. Lawmakers working on the AI Act considered whether to include them but weren’t sure how, or even if it was necessary. General purpose AI systems like chatbots were barely mentioned.
