On the 26th (local time), Musk posted on Twitter, "Today I met with several lawmakers, including Senator Chuck Schumer, regarding AI regulation."

He emphasized, "Regulations have been put in place over time to prevent companies from taking shortcuts that affect public safety. AI holds immense power to do both good and evil. The former is preferable."

Chuck Schumer, the Democratic Senate Majority Leader, is preparing legislation on AI regulation. After a roughly one-hour meeting with Musk, he told reporters, "We talked about Buffalo, New York, where Tesla has a factory, and discussed AI," according to foreign media reports.

Musk has long warned about the potential risks of AI and advocated for regulations on its development. In an interview with Fox News on the 17th, he said, "OpenAI's ChatGPT sometimes provides information that is not truthful," and added, "I plan to create 'Truth GPT,' which seeks the truth."
