US Senator Schumer: AI meeting discussed urgent actions needed before election

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said on Wednesday that an artificial intelligence forum he organized with U.S. lawmakers and tech CEOs focused on urgent actions that are needed before the 2024 elections. There were discussions about watermarking to make it easier to spot deep-fake images or audios ahead of the election, the top Senate Democrat told reporters.

"We talked about election law and the need to do something fairly immediate before the election," Schumer said.
