"We need your help, and I'm talking to CEOs around this table, Indian and American. We need your help to seize the moment, to help manage the risks to our societies, our economies, and to our nation's national security," the president added."Innovation and collaboration are rarely without obstacles, and so you raise our ambitions, and I want you to let us know what stands in the way of our ambitions.
Biden also called on the companies to step up regarding conversations around AI."We need your help to build guardrails around emerging technologies so they're trustworthy, secure, and uphold our shared values and human rights," Biden said. Biden's push for cooperation around AI coincides with efforts organized by Congress to begin understanding and proposing future legislation.Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced a new five-point framework for writing AI-related laws on Wednesday and planned to host forums to ensure the legislative branch properly understands AI. Reps. Ted Lieu and Ken Buck have introduced legislation to form a commission on AI.
