MPA Chairman Charles Rivkin told lawmakers, tech CEOs and labor groups about the industry’s position on AI at a landmark Senate forum on the technology on Wednesday.

Rivkin told the forum that “we clearly recognize the legitimate concerns that this new technology presents. We are just beginning to understand both the upside and the downside risks of attempting to conclusively define this nascent technology.
