Representative Derek Kilmer will serve as chair of the AI working group and told CNBC the primary focus of the working group was to crack down on the spread of misinformation and aired concerns on advanced AI-generated deepfakes becoming increasingly prevalent online.“There’s real concern about the potential for AI generated disinformation, real concern about misuse of advanced AI models.”


“That’s the type of thing that requires Congress to get smart and get smart fast,” Kilmer added.Artificial intelligence is the next great frontier of technological advancement.

And we’re already seeing how breakthroughs in this emerging technology present both great opportunities and challenges with potential disruptions for workers, democracy, and national security. https://t.co/hflVef6k9Y— Rep. Derek Kilmer (@RepDerekKilmer) August 15, 2023
