FROM U.S. SENATOR CHUCK SCHUMER: “The unchecked danger of catastrophic risks from AI is a serious problem that demands action. The Trump administration must come before the Senate immediately for a classified briefing on these risks and the steps being taken to protect Americans. The American people deserve answers.”
Senator Gillibrand has issued recent statements saying that A.I. should not be used in nuclear weapons programs and she says, A.I. use by scammers has caused many senior citizens to lose large amounts of money. “Seniors lost nearly $8 billion to scammers in 2025, with an average loss of $39,000 per person. This includes over $350 million lost in AI-related scams. Total scam losses increased by 59% from 2024. Common AI scams include phishing attacks, where fraudsters trick individuals into revealing sensitive information; voice cloning, where generative AI is used to mimic a familiar voice; and image creation scams, where generative AI is used to forge documents and identification to make fraudulent messages appear trustworthy.”
