Congressman Getting Master's Degree in Machine Learning So He Can Make Well-Informed Laws About AI
Briefly

I tend to be an AI optimist. We can't even imagine how different our lives will be in five years, 10 years, 20 years because of AI...There won't be robots with red eyes coming after us any time soon. But there are other deeper existential risks that we need to pay attention to.
Being in a master's program for machine learning puts him way ahead of the curve in the halls of Congress - which had Texas Senator Ted Cruz fuming last year that the legislative body 'doesn't know what the hell it's doing' on AI.
Members of Congress have a tall order when it comes to the tech, especially with the European Union passing a sweeping AI law last month and big tech companies racing ahead on pushing AI to consumers, in spite of considerable legal questions around - for example - the use of copyrighted material in AI data sets.
