Hi r/politics, we’re Punchbowl News reporters Ben Brody and Diego Munhoz. Last week, top safety researchers sent shockwaves through Congress and the American public when they made clear they think there’s a chance AI models could threaten humanity in a short time.
Here are some of our stories on tech and AI:
- Donald Trump shows why AI regulation is dead for now
- AI safety is circling the congressional drain
- Congress: Nowhere on artificial intelligence
- Thune’s AI plan clashes with Anthropic
- Casar wants to ban AI superintelligence
We’re here to discuss it all and the latest on how Congress is responding, the urgency to act, issues like data centers becoming a focal point in the midterms, and what’s next on AI and tech policy.
Send in your questions and join us as we answer them today, Sept. 16 from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. ET.
