Center for AI Safety Director Dan Hendrycks explains concerns about how the rapid growth of artificial intelligence could impact society. When Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., announced a "major effort" in April to put the Senate's imprint on artificial intelligence policy, he talked about having an "urgency to act" and said a legislative plan would start taking shape in a matter of weeks. "In the coming weeks, Leader Schumer plans to refine the proposal in conjunction with stakeholders from academia, advocacy organizations, industry, and the government," he said in an April 13 statement. But on Thursday, more than two months later, Schumer indicated that legislation may not be ready until 2024. In Wednesday remarks to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Schumer said the process of getting input for the plan is still months away.
