Tech billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg will attend a congressional forum on artificial intelligence (AI) next month alongside other industry leaders, US media outlet reported, citing sources familiar with the matter.
The September 13 event will involve Google CEO Sundar Pichai and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt; Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman; Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella; Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang; and Elon Musk, CEO of X, the company formerly known as Twitter.
Musk and Zuckerberg will participate in a closed-door AI insight forum on September 13, the report said on Monday. The forum is organized by US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
The event is intended to inform members of Congress about AI technology and build the foundations for regulation, the report said.
Representatives from advocacy, civil rights, workers and creative groups also will be at the closed-door bipartisan gathering on Sept. 13 organized by Schumer, D-N.Y., his spokesperson said.
In securing some of the biggest names in tech, Schumer plans to make a giant splash for the first of what he has dubbed “AI Insight Forums.” The discussions will form a foundation for senators as they begin to draft legislation to regulate the fast-moving AI industry, which experts and lawmakers have said can do enormous good but can also lead to mass worker displacement and be used for things like misinformation campaigns and election interference.
Schumer to host AI forum with major tech CEOs including Zuckerberg and Musk
The highly anticipated artificial-intelligence event is being hosted by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer next month, according to the senator's office.
It is the first of nine sessions Schumer has said will begin this fall to discuss the hardest questions that regulations on AI will seek to address, including how to protect workers, national security and copyright and to defend against “doomsday scenarios.”
Also attending next month’s event will be leading members of civil society, including members of groups representing workers, civil rights and art and entertainment, Schumer’s office said, adding that the bipartisan event will not be open to the press.
The events, which Schumer has dubbed “AI Insight Forums,” are set to bring experts from the private sector together with US lawmakers to help them understand the industry before they seek to create guardrails for AI.
Schumer has emphasized a deliberate approach to the issue, urging his colleagues to come up to speed on the basic facts of the technology rather than rush to pass legislation. Earlier this summer, Schumer held a series of closed-door senators-only briefings on AI, which included a first-ever classified briefing by US national security officials on artificial intelligence.
“We have no choice but to acknowledge that AI’s changes are coming and in many cases are already here,” Schumer said in June in a major address about AI. “We ignore them at our own peril. Many want to ignore AI because it’s so complex. But when it comes to AI, we cannot be ostriches sticking our heads in the sand.”
Schumer arranged three briefings before the August congressional recess to help educate senators about AI and generate momentum for the Senate to introduce and pass regulations about the emerging technology by the end of the year.
The guest list for next month’s Insight Forum was first reported by Axios.
