Among those attending the in-person event are the CEOs of Anthropic, Google, IBM, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, OpenAI, Palantir and X, the company formerly known as Twitter. The guest list also includes Bill Gates, the former CEO of Microsoft, and Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, along with leading officials from the entertainment industry, civil rights groups and labor organizations.
The high-profile assemblage of guests trickled in shortly before 10 a.m., with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg pausing to chat with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang outside the Senate Russell office building's Kennedy Caucus Room. Google CEO Sundar Pichai was seen huddling with Delaware Democratic Sen. Chris Coons, while X owner Elon Musk quickly swept by a mass of cameras with a quick wave to the crowd.
At the meeting, Padilla added, IBM plans to highlight how some of the company's clients are currently using its AI tools, as well as IBM's proposed vision for AI policy, which calls for applying escalating restrictions to algorithms depending on the risks their use may cause. IBM CEO Arvind Krishna will also seek to"demystify" a widely held impression that AI development is done only by a handful of companies like OpenAI or Google, Padilla said.
The concerns reflect what Wiley described as"a fundamental disagreement" with tech companies extending from how social media platforms have handled mis- and disinformation, hate speech and incitement. "AI is unlike anything Congress has dealt with before," he said."It's not like labor, or healthcare, or defense, where Congress has had a long history we can work off of. Experts aren't even sure which questions policymakers should be asking."
Connecticut Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal and Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley each spoke to reporters on the sidelines of the meeting. The two lawmakers recently introduced a legislative framework for artificial intelligence that they said represents a concrete effort to regulate AI — in contrast to what was happening steps away behind closed doors.
