Ocean County, New Jersey Sheriff Michael Mastronardy shares how he launched his own drones to learn more information about the mysterious drones hovering over his state on'Your World.' Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., announced Monday that he will move to advance drone legislation this week that will give local officials more authority to respond to the growing concerns of drone sightings. Reports of drones flying over New Jersey and New York, particularly near military research facilities and Trump's Bedminster golf course, have prompted lawmakers to press the Biden administration for more transparency when it comes to who is flying the suspected unmanned aircraft and why the government is not doing anything about them. Schumer has called on Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to "quickly deploy" any drone-detecting tools that are available to help New York and New Jersey deal with the mysterious drone sightings that started a few weeks ago. "This week, I will also come to the floor of the Senate to seek passage of legislation that will give local officials greater authority to swiftly respond to these sightings," Schumer said while speaking on the Senate floor on Monday.

AI's capabilities are growing at tremendous speeds, and while that apparently warrants a ton of the United States' money for development, it doesn't seem to translate to a very obvious action: regulation. A bipartisan group of four senators, led by majority leader Chuck Schumer, have announced a legislative plan for AI that includes putting 32 billion towards research and development. "It's very hard to do regulations because AI is changing too quickly," Schumer said in an interview published by The New York Times. Yet, in March, the European Parliament approved wide-ranging legislation for regulating AI that manages the obligations of AI applications based on what risks and effects they could bring. The European Union said it hopes to "protect fundamental rights, democracy, the rule of law and environmental sustainability from high-risk AI, while boosting innovation and establishing Europe as a leader in the field." Schumer seems to disagree with finding that balance, instead stating in the interview that investment into AI research and development "is sort of the American way -- we are more entrepreneurial."

At a White House summit on July 21, the Biden administration brought together the heads of seven different A.I. companies. A lot of the big names were there--Meta, Google, OpenAI--and they all signed "voluntary commitments" to safeguard artificial intelligence. In the Senate, Chuck Schumer is proposing a framework that legislators can use to tackle A.I. issues. But while the A.I. industry is moving at a breakneck pace, Washington is, as usual, slow to regulate. On Friday's episode of What Next: TBD, I spoke with Makena Kelly, who covers politics and policy for the Verge, about whether Washington can keep up with A.I. Our conversation has been edited and condensed for clarity.

Foreign allies and adversaries alike have pushed AI regulations, but Congress has stalled. Lawmakers told Fox News bipartisan efforts are needed to regulate the space. WASHINGTON, D.C. – Members of Congress provided a range of opinions on regulating AI, but several agreed that bipartisanship is the key to moving forward with a framework, lawmakers on Capitol Hill told Fox News. China and the European Union have recently drafted AI regulations, but Congress hasn't passed any legislation since the tech's recent rapid development. Republicans worry that lawmakers could overregulate AI and harm innovation, while Democrats fear that machine learning poses potential threats to consumers.
