Senators leave classified AI briefing confident but wary of ‘existential’ threat posed by China
Fox News
Senators departed their first-ever classified briefing on AI with a mostly bipartisan confidence in the United States' place in the world regarding the rapidly advancing technology.
Tuesday afternoon’s briefing was the first-ever classified meeting with senators and key Pentagon officials about AI. Discussion included how the U.S. is using AI to maintain its national security edge and how adversaries like China are using this emerging tool. Elizabeth Elkind is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., told reporters what he learned was "eye-opening." It comes after he told senators in a letter over the weekend that Congress is moving full steam ahead on his AI regulatory framework, which Schumer said Tuesday could take months to develop.
