US lawmakers to convene AI listening sessions

U.S. lawmakers will hold a series of "listening sessions" with Big Tech executives 13 Sept. as members of Congress attempt to "devise regulations" for artificial intelligence development, The New York Times reports. The closed-door meetings will also feature representatives from civil rights and labor groups to discuss "risks posed by A.I. on jobs, the spread of disinformation and intellectual property theft" as well as "opportunities created by the technology in the field of research on diseases," according to U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. Editor's note: Explore the IAPP AI Governance Center and subscribe to the AI Governance Dashboard.
