Tech workers plea for more AI oversight in new open letter

Tech employees are advocating for heightened oversight and regulation surrounding the rapidly evolving artificial intelligence landscape. Former and current employees from prominent tech giants like OpenAI, Alphabet's Google (GOOG, GOOGL), and Anthropic have released an open letter, raising concerns about the lack of governance to ensure the safe development of AI technologies. Appian (APPN) CEO Matt Calkins joins Catalysts to share his perspective on this initiative. Calkins supports the letter, calling it "an extremely responsible step." He notes that the letter tackles three distinct areas: safety concerns, the lack of a "more mature set of regulations," and transparency within AI organizations. "Fundamentally, it's about whether we can trust AI and whether AI is gonna be a partner to us in the way we make decisions as people and corporations. Right now, AI is a novelty," Calkins tells Yahoo Finance For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Catalysts. This post was written by Angel Smith
