Senators and representatives held separate hearings March 8 on the perils and promise of artificial intelligence (AI), signaling lawmakers’ growing regulatory appetite in the wake of actions on the technology from the Biden administration.
“AI is no longer a matter of science fiction nor is it a technology confined to research labs. AI is a technology that is already being deployed and broadly adopted as we speak,” said Aleksander Mądry, a computing professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), in written testimony for the House hearing, held by the House Oversight’s Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation.
