Sen. Chuck Schumer Launches SAFE Innovation in the AI Age at CSIS

Please join CSIS in welcoming Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for this timely discussion on the role of Congress in examining the future of artificial intelligence. Senator Schumer will reveal his SAFE Innovation framework and announce a comprehensive approach in the Senate that will illuminate a bipartisan path forward on AI, meant to protect, expand, and harness AI’s potential.

Artificial intelligence was largely science fiction until a few years ago, but the AI age is here to stay. From supercharging scientific breakthroughs to revolutionizing medicine, experts predict that AI could be one of the most transformative technologies in our history. But that potential benefit is matched by potential harms. As policymakers weigh how to shape the future of U.S. policy on AI, they must consider how to maximize the lifechanging benefits while minimizing the potential risks.

Senator Schumer will outline his plan to bring together industry experts, leaders, stakeholders, and committees across the Senate to launch a bipartisan policy response to help shape AI in the United States.
