Participants included OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and more than 60 US senators.
Billionaire Elon Musk called for an artificial intelligence “referee” on Wednesday as tech tycoons and lawmakers met for a closed-door summit in Washington, D.C. to discuss the best way to regulate the burgeoning technology.
Musk referred to AI as a “double-edged sword” that could bring major benefits or have disastrous consequences for humanity — repeating a frequent warning that he and other tech bigwigs have given in recent months.
Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle expressed support for some kind of AI-related legislation in the months and years ahead. However, the exact composition of that legislation — and a timeline for its passage — is still unclear.“Are we ready to go out and write legislation? Absolutely not,” Republican Sen. Mike Rounds said. “We’re not there.”
