Sen. Chuck Schumer’s new AI roadmap gets panned by watchdogs

Fast Company: Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer released on Wednesday a long-anticipated road map for governing artificial intelligence, which called for some $32 billion in annual spending for AI research and development by 2026. The bipartisan proposal, which is meant as a guide for the Senate’s legislative efforts on AI, grew out of a yearlong series of “insight forums,” which included a stacked list of more than 150 experts—from tech leaders like Mark Zuckerberg, Sam Altman, and Satya Nadella—to academics and civil rights leaders.
