Associated Press reports that there is little consensus
regarding what form that regulation would take,
and potential legislation would be difficult.
AP reports that ideas presented in the meeting
included the creation of an independent agency to oversee
AI and how the U.S. can stay ahead of other countries. .
According to Schumer, the goal is to maximize
the benefits of AI while also minimizing the risks.
Whether thatβs enshrining bias,
or the loss of jobs, or even the
kind of doomsday scenarios that
were mentioned in the room.
And only government can
be there to put in guardrails, Chuck Schumer, Senate Majority Leader, via Associated Press.
