Some of the most powerful people in America assembled in Washington, DC<\/a>, today to help shape the future of artificial intelligence (AI<\/a>) safeguards.<\/p>\n

The unprecedented meeting <\/a>took place as the US Senate<\/a> gears up to draft legislation that will regulate the rapidly advancing AI industry, which many of the world’s best minds fear\u00a0could destroy humanity if left unchecked.<\/span><\/p>\n

The gathering brought 22 of the most influential voices in the tech sector – who had a combined net worth of over $400billion – and 100 senators under one roof, bridging the gap between Silicon Valley and the nation’s capital.<\/p>\n

The high-profile event included notorious AI critic\u00a0Elon Musk<\/a>, who today called for tighter regulation of AI, as well as\u00a0Mark Zuckerberg<\/a>, Bill Gates<\/a> and the CEOs of Google<\/a> and IBM<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The private meeting was a crash course for legislators on how best to regulate AI: a technical achievement which some of these same industry leaders likened to the ‘extinction’-level risk of nuclear weapons<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Those who fear AI fear it could surpass human intelligence and develop independent thinking. This means it would no longer need or listen to humans, in a worst-case scenario stealing nuclear codes, create pandemics and spark world wars.<\/p>\n

So, who was at the meeting?<\/span><\/p>\n

As the CEO of\u00a0Tesla<\/a>, he has been a driving force behind the development of autonomous vehicles, pushing the boundaries of AI in the automotive industry with features like Tesla’s Autopilot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 52-year-old has also been a vocal advocate for AI safety and has co-founded OpenAI to ensure responsible AI development.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After the meeting with US lawmakers today, Musk has been a vocal proponent of AI safety, and said a ‘referee’ is\u00a0 needed to monitor systems.\u00a0<\/p>\n
