Show Notes
Host Tammy Haddad features an interview with Maya Wiley, President and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, one of 24 guests for the closed-door AI Insight Forum hosted by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. Wiley reveals what it was like to be one of only four advocates next to some of the world’s biggest tech CEOs from Musk to Zuck, and the questions senators raised. Wiley sounded alarm bells about the dangers of AI beginning with the models and the humans who create them. While senators differed vastly on what parts of AI to legislate, they told the CEOs their trust issues with private industry since tech blocked their legislation. She comments on Elon Musk grabbing “the headlines and sound bites” with his dire prediction of the end of civilization and ignoring the other ways AI is dangerous and impacting people’s lives.
