The US government has been focusing on developments in artificial intelligence technologies for some time. Government officials are not against the development of artificial intelligence, but they argue that it should be done in a controlled manner and ordinary individuals should be protected against risks. In fact, technology giants also have a similar view. In fact, we reported that in the past weeks, the US government and the CEOs of companies such as Google, Microsoft and OpenAI came together and reached an agreement.
Now we will tell you about a new meeting held in the USA. A meeting was held with the participation of names such as Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Google CEO Sundar Pichai. The meeting in New York was closed to the public, but the CEOs spoke to members of the press before and after the meeting. The statements made reveal that the parties are on a common ground. Let’s take a closer look at what is being talked about in the forum.
What exactly was the purpose of the forum?
A group of lawmakers in the USA continues to work on a bill focused on artificial intelligence. This very comprehensive bill aims to both develop artificial intelligence technologies and protect people from the risks of artificial intelligence. The purpose of the forum was generally about how the draft law in question should be. Members of Parliament and leading figures from the technology world expressed their opinions on what the legal framework would be like.
Who said what?
Let’s start with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg:
*Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, who were on the agenda with the cage fighting issue a few weeks ago, sat far away from each other.
According to meta boss Mark Zuckerberg, there are two issues that need to be defined for artificial intelligence. These issues are security and access. In this context; Explaining that the best bill to be created should include everyone, Zuckerberg argued that academics, industry stakeholders, politicians and non-governmental organizations should come together. Zuckerberg also underlined that the law should be balanced.
Mark Zuckerberg also said that the government is the one who will protect people about the risks of artificial intelligence. However, according to Zuckerberg, lawmakers are not currently eligible to draft a law. Because Zuckerberg argued that people should first interact with artificial intelligence-focused technologies and understand what benefits developing technologies can offer.
Tesla and X CEO Elon Musk wants a “referee”
According to CNBC, Elon Musk made a small statement at the end of the forum. “It was a very civil discussion with some of the smartest people in the world,” he said in a statement. Using his statements, Musk did not go into detail. However, there is no need for this because we have known the billionaire businessman’s views on artificial intelligence for a long time. Comparing artificial intelligence to a double-edged sword, Musk argues that legal regulation is very important.
According to Elon Musk, a referee to manage the artificial intelligence industry is very important. Stating that companies will work according to this referee, the businessman says that with the decisions to be taken, technologies that are truly beneficial to humanity can be developed. Musk stated that what was discussed in the forum will go down in history.
OpenAI’s Sam Altman is as enthusiastic as always
Sam Altman, the boss of OpenAI, developer of popular AI tools such as ChatGPT, has always been enthusiastic about regulations. This situation continued in the last meeting. Stating that he is sure that the government is trying to do the right thing, OpenAI CEO said that he was impressed by the effort to take quick steps.
Other stakeholders also share a similar view
Not just Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk and Sam Altman; CEOs of companies such as Google, Microsoft, IBM and NVIDIA generally have the same views. Everyone argues that artificial intelligence technologies should be developed under certain frameworks. The main issue here is what the regulation in question will be like. The discussions that the parties will hold together will lead to the formation of the law.
US government view
MPs attending the “AI Insight Forum” event are aware that they are not experts enough on artificial intelligence technologies, and therefore they state that they will not be hasty in making rules. Stating that similar events will be increased, the MPs emphasize that not only the USA but also many countries want a common artificial intelligence law, and their aim is to achieve this.
