The
closed-door forum will also feature OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, according to Schumer's office,
which added the forum will be bipartisan.
Several governments are considering how to mitigate the dangers
of the emerging technology, which has experienced a boom in
investment and consumer popularity in recent months after the
release of OpenAI's ChatGPT.
In June, Schumer hinted that he would host a forum to "lay down
a new foundation for AI policy."
"We need the best of the best sitting at the table: the top AI
developers, executives, scientists, advocates, community
leaders, workers, national security experts - all together in
one room, doing years of work in a matter of months," Schumer
has said, according to the Senate Democrats' website.
Regulators globally have been scrambling to draw up rules
governing the use of generative AI, which can create text and
generate images whose artificial origins are virtually
undetectable. Its impact has been compared to that of the
arrival of the internet.
The risks of artificial intelligence to national security and
the economy need to be addressed, U.S. President Joe Biden said
in June, adding he would seek expert advice.
Biden has also recently discussed the issue of AI with other
world leaders, including British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak
whose government will later this year hold a first global summit
on artificial intelligence safety.
