The company claims it will comply not only because “it is a legal obligation”, but also because the law’s objective is in line with its “mission to develop and distribute secure and safe artificial intelligence benefiting all humanity”.

In a preliminary assessment of the AI Act, Sam Altman’s company stresses how the new law constitutes an “important legislative framework” for the development, diffusion and use of AI in Europe.

He says the framework guarantees the safeguarding human rights, health, safety and security.

“We believe in a balanced and scientific approach in which security measures are integrated into the development process from the start,” said OpenAI’s assessment.

OpenAI is looking to “liaise in close contact” with the European AI Office and with other authorities during the implementation of the law, offering its experience to “advance the law’s objectives”.

“Over the coming months,” OpenAI concluded via a statement, “we will continue to prepare technical documentation and other recommendations for suppliers and users of our GPAI models (general purpose artificial intelligence).

“[We will continue to promote] the security and safety of the models that we supply on the European market and others.”
