Announced in November 2022, ChatGPT, or Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer, is a chatbot built atop the parent company’s GPT-3 series of language models.

The platform can answer questions directly and works like a search engine. The free AI chat interface signed up 100 million users in just two months after its launch on Nov. 30, 2022.

Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., on Thursday revealed legislation that would create a new federal agency to regulate artificial intelligence, an effort that comes just days after OpenAI CEO Sam Altman testified to Congress on the need for government oversight of AI technologies.

Bennet's bill, obtained by Fox Business, would create a Federal Digital Platform Commission with broad powers to make rules to govern companies that provide "content primarily generated by algorithmic processes."

The bill defines "algorithmic process" to include computer software that makes decisions or generates content, two of the most powerful features of AI programs like OpenAI's ChatGPT.

"There’s no reason that the biggest tech companies on Earth should face less regulation than Colorado’s small businesses – especially as we see technology corrode our democracy and harm our kids' mental health with virtually no oversight," Bennet said in a statement.
