Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer will host tech leaders including Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai at a man-made intelligence forum on Sept. 13, Schumer’s office said Monday.
The closed-door forum will even feature OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, according to Schumer’s office, which added the forum will likely be bipartisan.
Several governments are considering how to mitigate the risks of the emerging technology, which has experienced a boom in investment and consumer popularity in recent months after the discharge of OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
In June, Schumer hinted that he would host a forum to “lay down a latest foundation for AI policy.”
“We’d like one of the best of one of the best sitting at the table: the highest AI developers, executives, scientists, advocates, community leaders, employees, national security experts – all together in a single room, doing years of labor in a matter of months,” Schumer has said, according to the Senate Democrats’ website.
Regulators globally have been scrambling to draw up rules governing using generative AI, which may create text and generate images whose artificial origins are virtually undetectable. Its impact has been compared to that of the arrival of the web.
The risks of artificial intelligence to national security and the economy need to be addressed, President Joe said in June, adding he would seek expert advice.
Biden has also recently discussed the difficulty of AI with other world leaders, including British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak whose government will later this 12 months hold a primary global summit on artificial intelligence safety.
