Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has been talking for months about accomplishing a potentially impossible task: passing bipartisan legislation within the next year that encourages the rapid development of artificial intelligence and mitigates its biggest risks.
On Wednesday, he's convening a meeting of some of the country's most prominent technology executives, among others, to ask them how Congress should do it.
"AI is not going away, and it can do some really good things or it can be a real challenge," Rounds said. "We don't want to do what we did with social media, which is let the techies figure it out, and we'll fix it later," says Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner, D-Va., on the AI push.
Some of Schumer's most influential guests, including Musk and Sam Altman, CEO of ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, have signalled more dire concerns evoking popular science fiction about the possibility of humanity losing control to advanced AI systems if the right safeguards are not in place. On the more positive side, Rounds says he would like to see the empowerment of new medical technologies that could save lives and allow medical professionals to access more data. That topic is "very personal to me," Rounds says, after his wife died of cancer two years ago.
