U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer plans to bring together several technology industry chiefs to discuss the ramifications of artificial intelligence, including Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, who have been discussing whether to bring their rivalry to a cage match.
Others invited to the closed-door meeting in September are Sundar Pichai, the chief executive officer of Alphabet’s Google, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, according to Schumer’s office.
The gathering, which was reported earlier Monday by Axios, is intended as the first of Schumer’s AI Insight Forums, and part of his strategy to give Congress more influence over the future of AI as it takes on a growing role in the professional and personal lives of Americans.
