AI FORUM - Happening today – Senators are hosting their first-ever Artificial Intelligence (AI) Insight Forum. Senate leaders say lawmakers will meet with almost two dozen tech leaders and advocates, and some of the industry’s biggest names like Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg and X and Tesla’s Elon Musk as well as former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates. While this effort is bipartisan, the meeting will be held behind closed doors.
