Schumer announces bipartisan senator-only briefings on 'astounding' AI advances

Tom Newhouse, vice president of Convergence Media, discusses the potential impact of artificial intelligence on elections after an RNC AI ad garnered attention. A bipartisan group of senators announced on Tuesday a series of briefings focused on artificial intelligence, including the first ever classified "All-Senators" briefing on the topic. "Dear Colleague: The advances we have seen in Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the last few months have been astounding. From helping the paralyzed walk again to allowing anyone to be a computer programmer, the technological breakthroughs are happening on almost a daily basis," Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer wrote in a letter to his fellow senators this week. "As AI transforms our world, the Senate must keep abreast of the extraordinary potential, and risks, AI presents."
