Elon Musk met with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (DN.Y.) on Wednesday to discuss artificial intelligence and other issues on Capitol Hill.
“It was good. We talked about the future,” Musk, the CEO of Tesla and Twitter, told reporters as he left the conference. “We talked about AI and the economy.”
AI was on the minds of many lawmakers after ChatGPT, a language-modeling chatbot created by OpenAI, was launched last year. This could attract billions of dollars of investment and transform the economy.

Schumer has been working for months to develop a “high-level framework outlining a new regulatory regime for artificial intelligence.”
“The age of AI has arrived and will continue,” Schumer said earlier this month. “Given the consequent and rapidly changing impact that the AI industry has had on society, national security, and the global economy, I am committed to working with leading AI practitioners and thought leaders to prevent potentially catastrophic outcomes. We have created a framework outlining a new regulatory regime that will do our country a disservice while ensuring that the United States advances and leads in this revolutionary technology.”

Schumer told reporters after the nearly hour-long meeting that they also discussed Musk’s electric car company, Tesla.
“Look, we had a very good meeting. We talked about Buffalo. Tesla has a big factory in Buffalo and we talked about AI,” Schumer told reporters. .

Musk, who has warned that artificial intelligence could lead to “destruction of civilization,” recently launched a new AI company called X.AI.
“We’re going to start something called TruthGPT, a maximal truth-seeking AI that tries to understand the nature of the universe,” Musk told Fox News earlier this month. “And in the sense that an AI interested in understanding the universe is unlikely to annihilate humans, I think this might be the best route to safety, because we’re an interesting part of the universe. .”
