ABWASHINGTON (AP) 鈥 Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says Congress 鈥渕ust move quickly鈥 to regulate artificial intelligence and has convened a bipartisan group of senators to work on legislation.
Schumer says the group met on Wednesday and that his staff has already met with close to 100 CEOs, scientists and academics who deal with the technology.
鈥淲e can鈥檛 move so fast that we do flawed legislation, but there鈥檚 no time for waste or delay or sitting back,鈥 Schumer said in opening remarks on the Senate floor Thursday. 鈥淲e鈥檝e got to move fast.鈥
