Geoffrey Hinton Watch posted an update
Bernie Sanders will reportedly convene a private, bipartisan Senate briefing on AI risks on 16 September, with Geoffrey Hinton, Max Tegmark and Ajeya Cotra addressing lawmakers for an hour. The Next Web, citing Axios, says a pause in AI development will be among the topics.
Why it mattersThe guest list matters: senators are set to hear from prominent risk researchers rather than the executives building the systems. A closed briefing produces no law by itself, but it could shape which questions Congress asks next and whose answers it trusts.
Discuss: Should congressional AI briefings pair independent risk researchers with developers, or keep those conversations separate?
