Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, announced late Friday that the company is ceasing operations in Europe. This decision comes after the European Union tightened its regulation of artificial intelligence. Altman emphasized that the new rules are incompatible with OpenAI's principles. The company cannot guarantee user safety under such restrictions. In his statement, he expressed regret over the decision. OpenAI plans to focus on markets with more flexible regulations. Experts believe this could be a major blow to European tech firms. They will lose access to cutting-edge AI developments. European authorities have already begun talks with OpenAI representatives. They hope to find a compromise solution.
