Tom Newhouse, vice president of Convergence Media, discusses the potential impact of artificial intelligence on elections after an RNC AI ad garnered attention. EXCLUSIVE: The chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee is planning a series of hearings in the coming weeks and months to bring his members up to speed on artificial intelligence, as Congress faces a growing number of calls to regulate the emerging technology. Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., told Fox News Digital that the Senate has plenty to learn about AI, and that he has several hearings in mind. "I'm hoping every time we come back here for a work period, that we're going to have a hearing taking a different topic related to AI up, so that we can get just a good sense of where the technology is today, where it's going in the future. What are some of the opportunities that it presents, as well as some of the threats?" the senator explained.
