The pair discussed ways to minimise the potential negative effects of the rapidly advancing technology.
Husic said Altman expressed an openness to the idea of mandatory labelling of AI-generated material,an idea included in a bill passed by the European Parliament this week and awaiting final approval.
“The use of generative AI to create images that are lifelike but don’t reflect reality,the use of chatbots levered off generative AI where people may not be aware of the fact they’re talking to tech rather than a human – these are serious issues,” Husic said in an interview.

“I’ve raised,in light of what the EU has proposed this week with its draft laws,the labelling of AI-generated product so people have confidence about what they’re dealing with.
“OpenAI have indicated a willingness to consider that and it’s something we’re thinking about as well.”
Husic said he was pleased that Altman agreed to give Australian scientists and researchers access to OpenAI’s models,including future versions of the ChatGPT chatbot,so they could better understand how the technology worked.
