As artificial intelligence evolves and penetrates the social and economic spheres, it becomes increasingly sophisticated and widespread.

On September 13, Senate leader Chuck Schumer initiated such an approach at an Artificial Intelligence (AI) forum. According to the details disclosed by the Senator’s office, the following are the names and affiliations of those who will be attending the event.

Sam Altman, CEO of ChatGPT manufacturer OpenAI, stated in June that he was “quite optimistic” regarding the prospects for global AI coordination.

– Elon Musk: The CEO of Tesla launched xAI, his own artificial intelligence venture, earlier this year. He has mentioned the possibility of AI causing “civilization destruction.” After a recent excursion to China, he stated that he believes the country is interested in a cooperative international AI framework.
