With so much going on this week in the Senate, I want to remind my colleagues that today we will hold out our third all-Senate briefing on Artificial Intelligence. Our presenters today will be Rick Stevens from the Department of Energy’s Argonne National Lab, Dr. Sethuraman “Panch” Panchanathan  from the National Science Foundation, and Dr. Kathleen Fisher from the Information Innovation Office at DARPA. And finally, our moderator will be Dr. José-Marie Griffiths, Member, National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence & President, of Dakota State University.

It’s a broad range of presenters. The last few briefings were well attended. I know people are busy today, but please try to make the time. The Q&A was surprisingly very direct. We got a lot of answers and learned a lot. So I look forward to my colleagues at the briefing for what will surely be an illuminating and important discussion, and I thank everyone for their good work.
