Elon Musk said he discussed artificial intelligence in a meeting with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. When Schumer tweeted that he was launching a “first-of-its-kind” effort on AI earlier this month, Musk called his announcement “good news.”
Musk has been among the tech policy leaders sounding the alarm about the risks of AI. When Schumer tweeted that he was launching a “first-of-its-kind” effort on AI earlier this month, Musk called his announcement “good news.”After half a decade of efforts in Congress to rein in the abuses of social media companies, Washington policymakers are increasingly turning their gaze to regulating artificial intelligence.
Schumer told reporters that he had a “very good meeting" with Musk, where discussions ranged from Tesla’s plant in Buffalo and AI. Schumer said he previously met with the tech billionaire about a decade ago during a visit to his company SpaceX. Schumer has not yet publicly unveiled AI legislation, but he said his approach to AI regulation would “deliver transparent, responsible AI while not stifling critical and cutting edge innovation" in a news release earlier this month.Musk did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Schumer’s regulatory proposal would require companies to review and test AI technologies before the are publicly released or updated, and it would require the businesses to give users access to those results. Such a requirement is likely to face resistance from tech companies, which very frequently ship new algorithms and update them.
Few other specifics have been released about the framework Schumer is developing, which he has discussed with AI-focused think tanks, research institutions and industry experts. The proposal has four guardrails “Who, Where, How, and Protect," which Schumer says will help the government access the data it needs to properly regulate AI and reduce potential harms.
