Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk and Bill Gates meet for AI regulation talks with senators in DC TODAY

Behind closed doors today, the US Senate will grill nearly two dozen tech executives including Tesla CEO and longtime AI critic Elon Musk, ChatGPT-maker and staunch AI defender Sam Altman and Microsoft founder Bill Gates, on how best to regulate AI. Democrat Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who spearheaded the effort for today's Senate'AI Insight Forum,' described the all-day debate on the implications of artificial intelligence as an'all-hands-on-deck moment for Congress.' 'For Congress to legislate on artificial intelligence,' Senator Schumer said Tuesday, 'is for us to engage in one of the most complex and important subjects Congress has ever faced.' Senator Schumer is set to moderate the forum on how Congress should set artificial intelligence safeguards, which runs from 10AM to 5PM, for its first half. Republican Senator Mike Rounds of South Dakota will help moderate the forum.
