Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer hosted a number of “insight” forums on AI last year inviting a mixture of Tech Companies, Nonprofits, Trade Associations, Labor Unions, Think Tanks and Academics to comment on different sub-topics of relevance to regulating AI.
Techpolicy.press has done the lovely work of collecting all their statements into one place, along with creating a more in-depth accounting of each forum, and I would recommend taking a look. These statements have been helpful for me to get a sense of what people are saying (e.g. what does the American Enterprise Institute think about AI’s effects on jobs[1]), as well as how the framing of an issue changes based on who’s presenting it (e.g. how privacy is addressed by Big Tech vs unions[2]).
Forum Topics:
Forum One: Introduction
Forum Two: Innovation
Forum Three: Workforce
Forum Four: High Impact AI
Forum Five: Democracy and Elections
Forum Six: Privacy and Liability
Forum Seven: Transparency & Explainability and Intellectual Property & Copyright
Forum Eight: Risk, Alignment, & Guarding Against Doomsday Scenarios

They’re skeptical: “AI is likely to strengthen democracy in its use as an educational tool...AI is more likely to save humanity than to wipe it out.”
Big Tech thinks we should craft legislation particular to the context, labor unions are concerned with how AI can be invasive in the workplace.
