The House select committee on combatting China held an event highlighting American tech and robotics manufacturers on Capitol Hill. Tesla made an appearance on Capitol Hill Wednesday where the company was held up as one of several key American manufacturers during a bipartisan event on U.S.-made robotics. Two Tesla humanoid robots were at the event, with onlookers crowding the machines as they struck various poses. They waved their arms at times, and held up hands with two fingers aloft on each in a Richard Nixon-like pose. At one point, a robot's arm swung out and hit the rope dividing it from the crowd, briefly sending a security guard scrambling to fix it.

Fox News' Charlie Hurt and Rachel Campos-Duffy discuss inauguration fashion for this week's installment of their pop culture round-up on'Fox & Friends Weekend'. First lady Melania Trump will speak on Capitol Hill Monday for the first time since returning to the White House, participating in a roundtable with lawmakers from both chambers of Congress focused on punishing online abuse and revenge pornography. The roundtable discussion will focus on online protection and the "Take it Down Act," a bill introduced in the Senate by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., that would make it a federal crime to publish, or threaten to publish, nonconsensual intimate imagery, including "digital forgeries" crafted by artificial intelligence. The bill also would require social media companies and similar websites to put procedures in place to remove such content within 48 hours of notice from the victim.

From a Taylor Swift takeover to Capitol Hill chaos and everything in between, Fox News' Digital Originals takes a look back on the biggest headlines of 2023. As history books close the chapter on 2023, Fox News Digital takes a look at the biggest news headlines of the year. Another trip around the sun brought unprecedented political plays, a Hollywood holdout, war in the Middle East and an economic boom from a world-famous pop singer. California Rep. Kevin McCarthy, a Republican, was elected speaker of the House of Representatives Jan. 7, 2023, after 15 floor votes. The fight to elect the speaker was unprecedented.

Some of the most powerful people in America assembled in Washington, DC, today to help shape the future of artificial intelligence (AI) safeguards. The unprecedented meeting took place as the US Senate gears up to draft legislation that will regulate the rapidly advancing AI industry, which many of the world's best minds fear could destroy humanity if left unchecked. The gathering brought 22 of the most influential voices in the tech sector - who had a combined net worth of over $400billion - and 100 senators under one roof, bridging the gap between Silicon Valley and the nation's capital. The high-profile event included notorious AI critic Elon Musk, who today called for tighter regulation of AI, as well as Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates and the CEOs of Google and IBM. The private meeting was a crash course for legislators on how best to regulate AI: a technical achievement which some of these same industry leaders likened to the'extinction'-level risk of nuclear weapons.

The'America's Got Talent' judge told Fox News Digital why he doesn't like AI technology in songwriting. FORCE OF THE FUTURE: Tech company boasts its AI can predict crime with social media policing. 'RAISES QUESTIONS': Why Joe Biden's plan to'watermark' AI-generated content may be next to impossible. ARTIFICIAL-AWARENESS: A surveillance and sensor technologies provider is working to provide AI-informed video surveillance to detect weapons and other threats at schools. Iveda CEO and founder David Ly said that Iveda's AI surveillance system can be easily installed within existing video security networks.

Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) will host the AI Insight Forum -- which is intended to serve as the bedrock for his "all hands on deck" plan to respond to recent AI advances -- in the grand Kennedy Caucus Room, the historic stage of Senate probes into the sinking of the Titanic, as well as Watergate. The more than 20 attendees include Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Google CEO Sundar Pichai and ChatGPT-maker OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, among other top tech executives, civil rights leaders, labor chiefs and researchers.

Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., spoke with Fox News Digital about his bill to establish a commission to address concerns about AI's rapid development. A GOP lawmaker leading on Congress' response to Big Tech is calling for a commission to streamline the U.S.'s development of artificial intelligence technology, warning that Congress is moving "too slow" on the rapidly advancing sector. Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., teamed up with Democratic Reps. Ted Lieu and Anna Eshoo this week to introduce the National AI Commission Act, which calls for a panel of 20 experts across various facets of AI to convene and advise the U.S. government on the risks and opportunities associated with it. "I think that we should look at this bill very closely and move it very quickly," Buck told Fox News Digital.

Center for A.I. Safety Director Dan Hendrycks explains concerns about how the rapid growth of artificial intelligence could impact society. People need to change how they're thinking about regulating artificial intelligence, according to a prominent expert in the field, who pushed back on an idea gaining traction among lawmakers to create a new government agency to regulate AI. "Regulation is a really hard question," Andres Sawicki, a professor of law and director of the business of innovation, law, and technology (BILT) concentration at the University of Miami, told Fox News Digital. "The topic of AI is too big to be handled in one big coherent manner." Rather than tackling AI in a sweeping, comprehensive way, Sawicki recommend a more pragmatic, piecemeal approach. "Look specifically and concretely at effects the technology is having, the impact of AI on this or that issue. There shouldn't be a Department of AI to handle this in one big swoop."

CEO says OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said language and cultural inclusivity is "very important" to his company's mission as it builds and trains powerful artificial intelligence systems. On Tuesday, May 16, Mr. Altman went to Washington. And today, the world feels a little scarier. There's rarely a day when we don't hear some new report about the groundbreaking impact – and potential danger – of this technology. Large learning models like ChatGPT have caught the world by surprise based on the speed of their learning and what they are now able to do.

Sam Altman, the chief executive of ChatGPT's OpenAI, has told legislators in the United States that government regulation of artificial intelligence is "critical" because of the potential risks it poses to humanity. Altman used his appearance on Tuesday in front of a US Senate judiciary subcommittee to urge Congress to impose new rules on big tech, despite deep political divisions that for years have blocked legislation aimed at regulating the internet. "If this technology goes wrong, it can go quite wrong," Altman, who has become the global face of AI, told the hearing. "OpenAI was founded on the belief that artificial intelligence has the potential to improve nearly every aspect of our lives, but also that it creates serious risks," he said, but given concerns about disinformation, job security and other dangers, "we think that regulatory intervention by governments will be critical to mitigate the risks of increasingly powerful models". Altman proposed the formation of a US or global agency that would licence the most powerful AI systems and have the authority to "take that licence away and ensure compliance with safety standards".
