The White House and U.S. senators will review highly classified information regarding artificial intelligence this week as lawmakers consider next steps on what to do about the emerging technology.
The first-ever classified Senate briefing on AI will occur Tuesday at 3 p.m. in a sensitive compartmented information facility within the Capitol, Reuters reported. The closed meeting was organized by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and other senators.Schumer primarily organized the meeting to “learn how we’re using and investing in AI to protect our national security and learn what our adversaries are doing in AI,” he wrote in a letter to all senators on Sunday.
The White House team briefing senators will include Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks, White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Arati Prabhakar, and National Geospatial Intelligence Agency Director Trey Whitworth. "Our job as legislators is to listen to the experts and learn as much as we can so we can translate these ideas into legislative action, with our committees continuing to serve as the key drivers. I look forward to hearing from these experts and I encourage you to attend," Schumer wrote.
The Democratic senator’s announcement comes as AI continues to be a rising national security concern in Congress. Last month, Schumer unveiled a five-point framework on how to write AI-related laws to accelerate said legislation.Congress has not yet reached a consensus on AI regulation.
