In an interview with NBC News' Julie Tsirkin and Scott Wong, Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., discussed his plans for legislation to address artificial intelligence and deepfakes ahead of the 2024 election and the pushback it has received from some across the aisle.
WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has spent the past year raising the alarm about the need for lawmakers to regulate artificial intelligence. Just last week, tech billionaire Elon Musk, a Donald Trump backer, shared a parody deepfake video to his nearly 200 million followers on X featuring audio of Vice President Kamala Harris saying things she had never said.
But with growing threats from China, lawmakers this past spring moved quickly to pass a potential ban on the popular video-sharing app TikTok in the U.S. unless its Chinese parent company sells it. Proponents found success by arguing that TikTok is a national security threat, and Schumer and others say that same national security argument could secure some AI legislative wins on the defense policy bill, known as the National Defense Authorization Act .
