And coalitions are key to compromise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cThere\u2019s no feeling in the room,\u201d says Senator Elizabeth Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat. \u201cClosed-door [sessions] for tech giants to come in and talk to senators and answer no tough questions is a terrible precedent for trying to develop any kind of legislation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">While Warren sat in the front row\u2014close enough so the assembled saw the whites of her fiery, consumer-focused eyes\u2014other critics boycotted the affair, even as they sought out the throngs of reporters huddled in the halls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cMy concern is that [Schumer\u2019s] legislation is leading to nowhere. I mean, I haven\u2019t seen any indication he\u2019s actually going to put real legislation on the floor. It\u2019s a little bit like with antitrust the last two years, he talks about it constantly and does nothing about it,\u201d says Senator Josh Hawley, a Missouri Republican. \u201cPart of what this is is a lot of song and dance that covers the fact that actually nothing is advancing. The whole fact that it\u2019s not public, it\u2019s just absurd.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Absurd or not, some inside were placated, in part, because senators were reminded that AI isn\u2019t just our future, it\u2019s been in our lives for years\u2014from social media to Google searches to self-driving cars and video doorbells\u2014without destroying the world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cI learned that we\u2019re in good shape, that I\u2019m not overly concerned about it,\u201d says Senator Roger Marshall, a Kansas Republican. \u201cI think artificial intelligence has been around for decades, most of it machine learning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Marshall stands out as an outlier, though his laissez-faire thinking is becoming in vogue in the GOP, which critics say is due to all the lobbying from the very firms whose leaders were in yesterday\u2019s briefing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cThe good news is, the United States is leading the way on this issue. I think as long as we stay on the front lines, like we have the military weapons advancement, like we have in satellite investments, we\u2019re gonna be just fine,\u201d Marshall says. \u201cI\u2019m very confident we\u2019re moving in the right direction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Still, studious attendees left with a renewed sense of urgency, even if that involves first studying a technology few truly understand, including those on the dais. It seems the more senators learn about the sweeping scope of generative AI, the more they recognize there\u2019s no end to the Senate\u2019s new regulatory role.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cAre we ready to go out and write legislation? Absolutely not,\u201d says Senator Mike Rounds, a South Dakota Republican who helped Schumer run the bipartisan AI forums, the next of which will focus on innovation. \u201cWe\u2019re not there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">In what was once heralded as the \u201cworld\u2019s greatest deliberative body,\u201d even the timeline for legislation is debatable. \u201cEveryone\u2019s nodding their head saying, \u2018Yeah, this is something we need to act on,\u2019 so now the question is, \u2018How long does it take to get to a consensus?\u2019\u201d says Senator John Hickenlooper, a Colorado Democrat. \u201cBut in broad strokes, I think that it\u2019s not unreasonable to expect to get something done next year.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/senate-ai-forum-musk-zuckerberg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While all the CEOs, union bosses, and civil rights advocates were asked to raise their hands at points, one flaw with muzzling senators, according to critics on both sides of the proverbial aisle, is that lawmakers weren\u2019t easily able to game out where their allies are in the Senate.
