CEOs of leading AI companies gathered before Congress on Wednesday, but instead of the usual drama surrounding AI regulation, the conversation reportedly took on a more subdued tone. The meeting, organized by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, aimed to discuss how AI development should be regulated moving forward. Surprisingly, when Schumer asked if government is needed to regulate AI, every single person in the room raised their hand, despite having diverse views. However, areas of disagreement were apparent throughout the meeting, particularly regarding the risks of open-source AI. Elon Musk even got into a heated discussion with a researcher who downplayed concerns about AI-powered self-driving cars. Despite the lack of consensus, the meeting participants generally agreed that the federal government should assist with maximizing the benefits of AI. Mark Zuckerberg released his official remarks, emphasizing responsible development and the need for America to continue leading in AI. Elon Musk suggested the creation of a Federal Department of AI to regulate the industry, similar to the FAA or SEC. He believes this meeting could be historically significant for the future of civilization.
