Marc Andreessen and John Doerr, venture capitalists, are set to be part of the audience during the 2nd AI Insights Forum organized by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. Representatives from academia and civil society are also joining the dialogue, which focuses on development and attempts to comprehend how the government can remain at the forefront of AI breakthroughs while guaranteeing its security, per Schumer's office. The individuals present at Tuesday's meeting are probably going to have varied opinions on the right way to reconcile encouraging an atmosphere for AI progress with building safety measures.
Technologists and advocates are again set to join Senate leaders on Capitol Hill Tuesday for a meeting to discuss both the hazards and advantages of artificial intelligence. Venture capitalists Marc Andreessen, co-founder and general partner of Andreessen Horowitz, and John Doerr, chair of Kleiner Perkins, will be two of the 21 participants at the second AI Insights Forum, hosted by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., per a spokesperson for his office.
The gathering is part of the Majority Leader's effort to update the Senate on AI to decide how to go about regulating it. Andreessen’s mindset on AI is reflected in what he termed The Techno-Optimist Manifesto. He put forth the argument that "Any deceleration of AI will cost lives. Deaths that were preventable by the AI that was prevented from existing is a form of murder." Although that concept may gain approval from some legislators, particularly those eager to keep pace with China on AI, other individuals expected to join the conversation may have opposing views.
One such presenter is Max Tegmark, President of the Future of Life Institute. Tegmark's institute was behind the letter from Tesla and Space X CEO Elon Musk and other tech specialists advocating for a hold on AI growth until appropriate safety protocols are in place. Other tech professionals taking part include Manish Bhatia, Executive Vice President of Micron; Steve Case, CEO of Revolution; Patrick Collison, CEO of Stripe; and Aidan Gomez, CEO of Cohere. Academics and civil society leaders will as well be present, and the discussion will revolve around progress and how authorities can reconcile sustaining an important stance in AI while protecting its security, based on Schumer's office.
Advocates due to go to the forum involve NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson and AFL-CIO Technology Institute Director Amanda Ballantyne. At the first AI Innovation Forum in September, which was prohibited to the press, Musk, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Google CEO Sundar Pichai and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman were all in attendance.
