The founder and CEO of the business that created ChatGPT, Sam Altman, spoke to a US Senate committee on Tuesday about the advantages and disadvantages of the new technology.
Several AI models have hit the market in recent months.
A new body should be established, according to Mr. Altman, to license AI businesses.
While ChatGPT and other programs of a similar nature can produce responses to queries that are quite human-like, they can also be spectacularly wrong.
Mr. Altman, 38, has essentially become the industry's spokesperson. He has advocated for stronger regulation and has not shied away from addressing the ethical issues that AI brings.
He also acknowledged the potential effects of AI on the economy, including the chance that some jobs might be replaced by AI technology, resulting in employment losses in specific industries.

Jobs will suffer as a result. About that, we strive to be extremely explicit," he added.
However, several senators suggested that in order to make it simpler for citizens to sue OpenAI, new legislation was required.
Mr. Altman expressed concern to lawmakers about the possible effects on democracy and the possibility of using AI for disinformation campaigns during elections.
He made a number of recommendations for how a new US body should control the sector, including by issuing and withdrawing licenses to AI firms.
He added that companies like OpenAI should undergo independent audits.
Senator Josh Hawley, a Republican, said the technique may be transformative but also likened it to the development of the "atomic bomb."
A future controlled by AI, according to Democrat Senator Richard Blumenthal, "is not necessarily the future that we want."
"We must prioritize doing more good than harm. Now, Congress must decide. When it came to social media, we had the same options. He said, "We missed that opportunity.
The evidence made it quite evident that both political parties favor the creation of a new organization to oversee the business.
However, because technology is developing so quickly, lawmakers have questioned whether such an organization would be able to keep up.
