JAKARTA - On Monday, August 8, the Senate Majority office of US Senator Chuck Schumer announced that he will be holding an artificial intelligence forum on September 13 that will be attended by technology leaders including Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai.

This closed forum will also feature OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, and this forum will be bipartisan.

Several governments are considering how to mitigate harm from this emerging technology, which has seen a surge in investment and consumer popularity in recent months following OpenAI's launch of ChatGPT.

In June, Schumer hinted that he would convene a forum to "build a new policy foundation for AI."

"We need the best sitting at the table: the best AI developers, executives, scientists, advocates, community leaders, workers, national security experts - all together in one room, doing years of work in a matter of months," Schumer said. listed on the Senate Democrats website.

Regulators around the world have been scrambling to formulate rules governing the use of generative AI, which can create text and produce images of nearly undetectable artificial origin. Its impact has been compared to the arrival of the internet.

"The risks of artificial intelligence to national security and the economy need to be addressed," US President Joe Biden said in June, adding that he would seek expert advice.

Biden also recently discussed AI issues with other world leaders, including British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak whose administration will hold its first global summit on artificial intelligence safety later this year.
