Twitter CEO Elon Musk provides insight on the consequences of developing artificial intelligence and the potential impact on elections on "Tucker Carlson Tonight." Congress is under increasing pressure from technology giants and others to find a way to regulate artificial intelligence, and a likely candidate for early action is a bill that both Republicans and Democrats supported in the last Congress under Democrat leadership. In 2022, the House Energy and Commerce Committee passed the American Data Privacy and Protection Act (ADPPA), a bill that's aimed at boosting data privacy rights but would also play a big role in regulating emerging AI systems. The ADPPA won almost unanimous support from both parties last year and continues to be supported by companies that are eager to build trust in their AI products, and they believe that a federal regulatory structure will help them get there. BSA/Software Alliance represents dozens of companies, including Microsoft, Okta, Salesforce and others, that build software and AI tools that companies use to run their businesses. BSA is working closely with the committee to get a version of that bill passed this year that it hopes can be approved in a full House vote.

WASHINGTON -- Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is testifying for the first time ever before Congress on Tuesday as he attempts to apologize for high-profile privacy breaches at the social media giant and convince doubtful lawmakers that he can fix the problem without government intervention. Zuckerberg is trying to restore public confidence after recent revelations that data from up to 87 million Facebook users was shared with Cambridge Analytica, a data mining firm used by the Trump campaign in the 2016 election. The information was shared without users' knowledge.
