Executives from some of the nation's top tech companies convened Wednesday at the U.S. Senate for a closed-door meeting on artificial intelligence.

Executives from some of the nation’s top tech companies convened Wednesday at the U.S. Senate for a closed-door hearing on artificial intelligence, as interest in Congress to regulate the nascent technology has grown in recent months.

“Congress must play a role, because without Congress we will neither maximize AI’s benefits, nor minimize its risks,” he added. “This is going to be one of the hardest tasks we undertake, because AI is so complex, will impact nearly every area of life, and is evolving all the time.” The meeting follows several public hearings on the topic, most notably in the Senate Judiciary Committee, whose Democratic Chairman Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut and Republican ranking member Josh Hawley of Missouri recently put forward a framework for a new law aimed at regulating AI.

Despite this outreach, some of Schumer’s colleagues criticized the format of the hearing, both its non public nature as well as the list of invitees.
