“Politically brilliant” was how Silicon Valley investor Rob Siegel described Altman’s performance. “He came across as knowledgeable, engaged, with government, etc.”
Five years ago, Mark Zuckerberg was ridiculed for a wooden performance before the U.S. Congress where he came across as a cyborg trying to explain Facebook's disastrous data privacy fumbles. There were even memes portraying him as Data from"Star Trek."
Altman was even publicly praised by a fellow witness and known AI critic, Gary Marcus, a former New York University professor. "Politically brilliant" was how Silicon Valley investor Rob Siegel described Altman's performance."He came across as knowledgeable, engaged, with government, etc." "We want to work with the government to prevent that from happening," Altman added, as he also joined Marcus and Christina Montgomery, IBM's chief privacy and trust officer, in stressing the need for AI regulation.When Zuckerberg appeared before Congress five years ago, Durbin took a more confrontational tone in grilling the tech executive whose company was accused of mishandling a massive trove of user data that was then misused for political campaigns.
At Tuesday's hearing, Durbin said:"I can't recall when we've had people representing large corporations or private entities come and plead with us to regulate them."
