US Senate to Host Tech Leaders at AI Forum
The US Senate Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer, has announced that he will be hosting a closed-door artificial intelligence (AI) forum on September 13.
The forum will bring together top tech leaders, including Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta Platforms, and Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet. Other notable participants will include Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, and Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft. The forum aims to address the risks and policy implications of AI, which has seen a surge in investment and popularity in recent months.
Schumer's office stated that the forum will be bipartisan, emphasising the importance of collaboration and expertise from various stakeholders. The Senate Democrats' website quoted Schumer as saying, "We need the best of the best sitting at the table...doing years of work in a matter of months." The forum will focus on laying down a new foundation for AI policy and addressing the potential impact of AI on national security and the economy.
Governments worldwide have been grappling with the regulation of generative AI, which has the ability to create text and images that are virtually indistinguishable from those created by humans. The emergence of AI technology has prompted discussions on its potential risks and the need for expert advice. US President Joe Biden has expressed the need to address the impact of AI on national security and the economy and has engaged in discussions with world leaders, including British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
The upcoming AI forum hosted by Schumer will provide a platform for top tech leaders to contribute their insights and expertise. The outcomes of the forum could shape future AI policies and regulations, impacting the development and deployment of AI technologies.
