The AI Summit: Legislation, Tech & the Law Conference Committees

* Zoom Meetings Start in May 2025

•  Development of Strategic White Papers: The Industry Challenge

I. The Technology Committee (Training, Software, Chips & Devices)

The arrival of Artificial Intelligence is a transformative shift, a magnitude greater than other innovative moments. As the technology sector massively invests in AI R&D on a scale beyond earlier disruptive turning points, and then brings the resulting innovation to market, the societal impact has been appreciable and sometimes unsettling. It will be the challenge of this committee, to understand, address and assist in the need for appropriate legislation, industry-wide standards and an on-going educational framework.

II. The Content Committee (TV, Movies, Music, Internet)

In the past year, leadership in the TV and Motion Picture industries, Media and Publishing Groups and Music industries have, on the one hand, had to take strategic and aggressive positions in defense of their rights of copyright while on the other, invest heavily in the application and development of Artificial Intelligence, as a strategic enterprises-wide tool for both executives and content developers and creators. The issues of AI standards and regulation are ongoing, and it will be the role of this committee, to explore strategies, agreements and disagreements that will confront our industry into the future.

III. The Legal Committee (Legal Community, Law Schools)

The cutting edge of AI’s emergence as “An Agent of Disruption” can be well understood through the high-profile lawsuits filed in recent years. AI is a disruptive technology, and it has clearly earned its controversial status within the legal system, in the courts, in public discourse as well as in the legislative docket. Our “Legal” committee will have no shortage of critical issues to place on its docket.

IV. Policy Committee (Guilds, Legislative Teams, Think Tanks)
Even with the “Individual State Legislators,” Tennessee, California, Montana & Illinois setting the table with targeted approaches to AI regulation along with recent “Guild Negotiated Results” as well as White House guidelines and initiatives put forward last year, “The Future of AI Policy” is only at its beginning stages. Innovation in AI, ML, “Mega-Chips” and Data Centers along with outside considerations such as the “EU AI Initiatives” make any “Policy Consideration” that much more complicated and ill-suited to a one-size fits all approach. The role and interpretation decided upon by our “Committee Policy Experts” will be fascinating to observe.

V. Ethics Committee (Experts in AI Ethics, Philosophy, and Social Implications)
While the legal implications of AI might appear to have reasonably understood parameters, AI is an unique technology that transcends and reaches into the territory of the “Ethically Dubious,” “Unknowingly Powerful,” “Even Threatening.” Just as “Hal 9000 from “2001” became dangerously sentient, our computer scientists “Train” AIs, putting in place “Benchmarks” to help “Measure and Evaluate” concepts such as reasoning and accuracy, bias, fairness and compassion. It is with these ideas in mind that we create an “Ethics Committee,” to insure that within the context of this “Conference” we address the larger implications of Artificial Intelligence.
