Technology Technology Headlines News

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is holding the first of a series of closed-door AI Insight forums with the biggest names in tech. Appian Founder and CEO Matt Calkins joins Yahoo Finance's Rachelle Akuffo to weigh in on the need for inclusivity in the conversation surrounding AI.“This is not the right group”, states Calkins, who fears that the interests and viewpoints reflected at the forum will not include consumers and other smaller players in the field of tech. “AI is not necessarily a big company’s game”, insists Calkins.Calkins also shows concern over Senator Schumer’s blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights, fearing an “anti-proliferation” system that would really only benefit Big Tech. “What we really need is wide open innovation” and the only way to do that is by expanding the conversation, Calkins explains.
