A gallery of tech industry CEOs, including Tesla/X’s Elon Musk, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg and Google’s Sundar Pichai, are scheduled to attend a Senate forum on artificial intelligence next month.
They also will be joined by the president of the WGA, Meredith Stiehm, as well as other union leaders, along with Charles Rivkin, the chairman and CEO of the Motion Picture Association. The meeting, organized by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, comes as AI is an issue in Hollywood’s current labor strife.
Schumer is billing this as the first “AI Insight Forum,” and it is scheduled for the morning of Sept. 13. It’s unclear if all of the attendees will be there in person or appear via videoconference.

In an echo of the labor battle currently grinding Hollywood to a halt, some of the biggest media companies in the country are taking steps to protect themselves — and their content — from ChatGPT, the generative chatbot created by OpenAI.
According to CNN’s Oliver Darcy, the companies — which include among their ranks The New York Times, Disney, CNN and Reuters — have added code to their websites to prevent them from being scanned by GPTbot, ChatGPT’s webcrawler.
Darcy also reports that outlets such as Bloomberg, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, Axios, Insider, ABC News, ESPN, and Gothamist, and major publishers like Condé Nast, Hearst, and Vox Media are also taking protective steps.
“I see a heightened sense of urgency when it comes to addressing the use, and misuse, of our content,” Daniel Coffey, president and CEO of the News Media Alliance, told Darcy. “One publisher told me it is an existential threat.
