Some of the technology world’s biggest names met with U.S. senators Wednesday to discuss ways to safeguard Artificial Intelligence.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Alphabet’s Sundar Pichai, and Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg were just a few of the tech titans who met on Capitol Hill.
The meeting was to discuss how to protect Americans from the potential dangers of AI, such as realistic deep fakes and election interference. Lawmakers are still debating how to best regulate AI development and what other safeguards should be put in place.
But tech titans and lawmakers both agree that some kind of oversight is needed.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) wants to see something in place to protect the 2024 election, but other senators believe more time is needed for Congress to act.
