Musk meets with lawmakers to discuss A.I. regulation

Elon Musk met with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and other lawmakers to discuss AI regulation, following Schumer's recent efforts to develop a framework for the technology while mitigating its risks. Musk has been a vocal critic of the fast pace of AI development and signed an open letter calling for a six-month pause on training AI systems more powerful than GPT-4. Schumer's plans focus on transparency and safety standards for AI systems, including requiring independent experts to test the technologies ahead of public release and disclosing the people, places, and ways involved in their development.
