| Is this the most powerful room ever assembled? America's 20 top tech titans with a combined net worth of $400bn and untold influence are summoned to US Senate to devise war plan to stop AI | |

| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Some of the most powerful people in America assembled in Washington, DC, today to help shape the future of artificial intelligence (AI) safeguards. The unprecedented meeting took place as the US Senate gears up to draft legislation that will regulate the rapidly advancing AI industry, which many of the world's best minds fear could destroy humanity if left unchecked. The gathering brought 22 of the most influential voices in the tech sector - who had a combined net worth of over $400billion - and 100 senators under one roof, bridging the gap between Silicon Valley and the nation's capital. The high-profile event included notorious AI critic Elon Musk, who today called for tighter regulation of AI, as well as Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates and the CEOs of Google and IBM. The private meeting was a crash course for legislators on how best to regulate AI: a technical achievement which some of these same industry leaders likened to the 'extinction'-level risk of nuclear weapons. Those who fear AI fear it could surpass human intelligence and develop independent thinking. This means it would no longer need or listen to humans, in a worst-case scenario stealing nuclear codes, create pandemics and spark world wars.

| #10 Did somebody say Bill Gates and AI in the same breath? If AI isn't any better than Windows they might as well forget it. |

| #9 But how are the perfumed executives going to decide their next beer spokesman without AI? |

| #8 Why don't they pre-announce the who, where and when of these gatherings? Concerned about bombers? What is Davos? Davos draws record crowds, but its relevance is fading |

| #7 A closed meeting? Really? With the likes of Bill Gates, Randi Weingarten and others deciding the fate of AI, it doesn't promote confidence. |

| #6 Graphics should be kept to 500 pix or less. Sounds like the sort of thing an AI would say about a John Connor meme. The locks to the Capital building, they under AI control or do they just unlock themselves still? |

| #5 In the movie, the Terminator came from the future circa 2029. Not a bad guess from a mid-80s SciFi movie. But who needs to wait for that? In 2023 we have the Bidenator. |

| #4 Just get a bunch of kids to stop AI. They’re the only ones who understand technology. |
