Members of Congress grade their understanding of AI from one to 10

AI developments from generating videos, voices, pictures and human-like conversations are growing rapidly, lawmakers say they are trying to keep up. WASHINGTON, D.C. – As the ramifications of AI's growing ability become increasingly apparent, lawmakers on Capitol Hill graded their understanding of the new technology from one to 10. "I put my knowledge on a scale of one to 10 at about a 1.5," Republican Sen. Cynthia Lummis said, giving herself the lowest rating among the politicians who spoke with Fox News. Another Republican, Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina, had the most confident response. "I'd say it's eight or nine," she said. Elon Musk and more than 1,000 others in March called for an immediate pause on "giant AI experiments," warning the rapidly developing sector may pose security threats.
