US Congressman Adam Schiff joined the striking actors and writers of SAG-AFTRA on the picket lines today, and called for regulating artificial intelligence.
“Congress did a lousy job responding to all the changes in social media—we need to do much better when it comes to AI,” Schiff said, according to a Deadline report. “Otherwise, this country’s about to go through the most massive social experiment in which the American people may be the losers, and we need to make sure that’s not going to be the case.”
Rep. Schiff’s comments come as union members begin their first full week after talks with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) collapsed on Wednesday.
The congressman stressed the need to ensure that employees are not overlooked or disadvantaged in every sector where AI has an impact.
“I think that those in the entertainment industry are really the tip of the spear, but this is going to happen with driverless trucks and automobiles and in so many other ways,” Schiff said.
