The top executives from some of the world\u2019s largest tech and web companies have concluded a closed-door meeting with U.S. lawmakers in Washington D.C., where they reportedly discussed\u00a0AI technology<\/a> and potential approaches to regulation.<\/p>\n

The Sept.13 Senate ‘AI Insight Forum’ was organized by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and attended by 22 tech titans including X (Twitter) owner Elon Musk<\/a>, Google\u2019s Sundar Pichai, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Sam Altman from OpenAI<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Microsoft founder Bill Gates, according to the New York Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Musk reportedly warned about existential risks from AI exclaiming \u201cIf someone takes us out as a civilization, all bets are off,\u201d before adding: <\/p>\n

\u201cIf you have exceptionally smart A.I., the Communist Party will no longer be in charge of China.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Speaking to CNBC after the event, he said<\/a> it is essential to have a \u201creferee\u201d for AI, implying that it needs to be regulated. Musk added that the meeting \u201cmay go down in history as being very important for the future of civilization.\u201d<\/p>\n

When questioned about AI regulation, he said almost everyone in the room agreed that it needs to happen. <\/p>\n

Google CEO Sundar Pichai reportedly said AI<\/a> could help solve big problems, adding that the government needs to balance the \u201cinnovation side and building the right safeguards.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOver time, AI will be the biggest technological shift we see in our lifetimes. It’s bigger than the shift from desktop computing to mobile, and it may be bigger than the internet itself.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg advocated for open-source AI, stating: \u201cOpen source democratizes access to these tools, and that helps level the playing field and foster innovation for people and businesses.\u201d <\/p>\n

Meta and Microsoft recently teamed up<\/a> to launch Llama 2, an open-source large language model from Meta that will feature on Microsoft\u2019s Windows and cloud computing platform Azure.<\/p>\n

Microsoft’s Bill Gates raised concerns about security risks, advocating for the government and private sector to work together to minimize them. <\/p>\n

\n

The potential of AI is limitless\u2014but we will only realize that potential if government, the private sector, and civil society work together to maximize the technology\u2019s benefits and minimize its risks.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, the firm that created ChatGPT<\/a>\u00a0that arguably kicked off the AI frenzy in late 2022 called the meeting an unprecedented moment, adding<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cI think this will be a tool that will empower humanity to a degree that we can’t even imagine,\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

During the meeting, Altman said<\/a> he believed\u00a0policymakers want \u201cto do the right thing\u201d and was impressed with the speed by which the government wanted to create rules around the technology.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The White House is expected to release an AI executive order this year while Congress is also considering AI legislation.<\/p>\n

The closed-door forum was the first in a series but Senator Chuck Schumer said future meetings will likely be public.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the most difficult issue that Congress is facing because AI is so complex and technical,\u201d said Mr. Schumer.<\/p>\n
