AI rules ‘cannot be bargained’, EU’s Breton says after OpenAI CEO threat

Reuters exclusively reported that EU industry chief Thierry Breton has said proposed EU rules on artificial intelligence are not up for bargaining, in response to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s threat to quit Europe if the rules are too onerous. Altman caved the following day after Breton’s comments, tweeting that OpenAI was not going to leave the bloc.
