Schumer announces Senate will hold 'first-ever Senators-only' hearing on Artificial Intelligence

Center for A.I. Safety Director Dan Hendrycks explains concerns about how the rapid growth of artificial intelligence could impact society. The U.S. Senate will host its first members-only briefing on Artificial Intelligence this week amid security and election concerns. "Tomorrow, the Senate will convene the first-ever Senators-only briefing on Artificial Intelligence," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer tweeted Monday evening. Domestically, the rapidly evolving technology is being developed and utilized by companies across various industries -- to wide appeal and much fanfare. The proliferation of these AI applications, however, has prompted some concern for the 2024 presidential election as lawmakers and experts warn "deep fakes" and other AI uses could hurt political accountability and disrupt election integrity.
