WASHINGTON, July 18 (Reuters) - Artificial intelligence startup Anthropic's CEO Dario Amodei will testify on July 25 at a U.S. Senate hearing on artificial intelligence as lawmakers consider potential regulations for the fast-growing technology, the Senate panel scheduling the hearing said on Tuesday.
"It’s our obligation to address AI’s potential threats and risks before they become real," said Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal, the subcommittee chair.
"We are on the verge of a new era, with major consequences for workers, consumer privacy, and our society."
President Joe Biden met with the CEOs of top artificial intelligence companies in May, including Amodei, and made clear they must ensure their products are safe before they are deployed.
The report would help push federal financial regulators to adopt and adapt to AI changes disrupting the industry, Schumer's office said.
