7:00 am
growing dangers is front and center on capitol hill today. open a.i.ceo sam altmann is making his first appearance before congress as lawmakers try to race to understand the new technology. we'll tell you how it will go. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer, good morning. a.i., artificial intelligence has the power to change just about everything, we're told. from jobs and business to education and social media. there are even concerns it could play a role in political elections. it has a lot of people worried trying to scramble and learn more about this emerging technology. it is happening fast. altmann heads the company that makes chatgpt. that's an a.i. chatbot that allows different computers to speak with each other. california congressman ted lieu wants to hear what he has to say about the need for regulation from government. >> i encourage everyone to try
7:01 am
chatgpt or go on microsoft and try it. google has one also. you will understand in a few minutes how far a.i. has come and it is something we want to learn more about. sam altmann has talked about regulating a.i. like to hear what he means by that. >> dana: full coverage on fox. we have people in studio and the sprint to advance a.i. and the potential loss of jobs. let's go to aishah hosni live on capitol hill. >> good morning. you can't regulate something if you don't understand it. a big part of today's hearing will allow lawmakers to really catch up with this emerging technology as they debate if and how they should put guardrails around it and regulate it. last night sam altmann had a private dinner with house members to talk about a.i. and today he will face the senate panel on technology and privacy
7:02 am
and lawmakers are concerned about everything from a.i. influencing elections, giving adversaries military advances and even creating problems for musicians. >> we want to make certain we're protecting that ability, that right of these entertainers to own their images, their voices, their sounds, their productions and quite concerned about where he is headed with that. >> we've seen some legislation offered already, a house bill to stop a.i. from launching nuclear weapons. for the most part, guys, the u.s. is behind our adversaries like china on not just a.i. regulation but also a.i. investment. that's why chuck schumer has been meeting with dozens of tech leaders for weeks now, including, of course, elon musk
7:03 am
in order to craft some safeguards here. even republicans are intrigued by this and want to know more about that and today's hearing will be a step in that direction. so a big educational moment for congress today. >> dana: aishah, thank you. >> bill: now to los angeles and kelly o'grady at the impact on the tech industry. kelly, what did you find out? >> good morning to you, bill. a.i. is really dominating the tech conversation right now. you have leaders warning of the dangers, including a google employee known as the godfather of a.i. quitting his job over the dangers. the tech really continues to explode in popularity despite the warnings. you can see it in the numbers. chatgpt had over 100 million monthly active users as of january 2023 after two months in existence making it the fastest growing app in history. that has other tech companies trying to incorporate the bot into their products.
7:04 am
google launched one and others are spending money to one up each other. ceos across industries sharing it creates a massive opportunity. >> there is a revolution in technology that changes everything. it will be as profound as the internet, maybe significantly greater and it will affect everything. >> that also comes with a chorus of alarm bells. bots could mislead yourselfers or compromise the data users share. a.i. promises to usher in a major workforce upheaval. a new study that says 83 million jobs could be lost by 2027. close to a quarter of all jobs will change in some way. the roles that would be most at risk, accountants, cashiers, customer service workers and it is easy to get bogged down but these are real people losing jobs and even the new roles will be created there is a concern the older generation would be
7:05 am
left behind. some of the pros and cons that washington will consider on a.i. today. >> bill: they'll learn some things and so will we. >> dana: join us for more on all of this. taylor riggs co-host of the money show and joe concha. listen to eric schmidt warning about this for a while. this is what he thinks about government interference. >> it is too new, too hard. not the expertise. no one in the government who can get it right. the industry can roughly get it right and the government can put a regulatory structure around it. >> dana: i'm not sure if government can get it right. i think i agree with him there. is the tech industry willing to do it on their own? >> i'm hopeful. in the banking industry we have self-regulating organizations, a group of insiders come together and propose best practices. you still have oversight by regulators but that's where it takes all the burden off the regulators themselves. i would love to see a sam
7:06 am
altmann and elon musk propose best practices and what regulations are good enough without stifling innovation and an oversight body oversee and enforce some of those rules. they are the smartest people in the room. let's have them come up with something. i do like they are talking about guardrails while the risk is low. you don't want to be talking about guardrails after we've had chatgpt build nuclear bombs. let's do it while the risks are relatively low and learn from our mistakes and try to get guardrails if place. >> bill: you could frame this as develop now and worry later perhaps. >> i think the worry is tech could try to regulate themselves but always follow the money. this is projected, a.i. to be a $17 trillion business. a lot of money to be made. they penned an open letter
7:07 am
saying we need a six-month pause on this. the horse is already leaving the barn. it may not be under control. that google software engineer that kelly mentioned during her report, he left his job because he broke his confidentiality agreement after he said that the software he was working on with google's a.i. had become -- it could feel and perceive things. sensitive. that sounds like out of 2001 a space odyssey. could you open the door? you will try to shut me down and i won't allow it. the computer talking back to the human. terminator all over again. >> dana: companies using artificial intelligence now. it is a partial list but a lot of the big companies you would recognize. microsoft, google, spotify, amazon, snapchat, etc. one of the things i'm super concerned about and a lot of people are is what it will do for jobs in america. if companies move to a.i.
7:08 am
because they don't need to hire anybody. blue and white collar jobs go away and how for people to be compensated. are you a techno optimist or worried people will lose jobs and we aren't prepared? >> i think it was i.b.m. a few weeks ago that said we're already pausing hiring on jobs that we think a.i. can do. so yes, you are right. also hope there is so much resilience and joinvation if we use it as a tool, not replacement, the tools. think about robots filling up the warehouse in wal-mart. if you have it doing back restocking it frees people to go in front of the customer and frees them up to do other jobs. so if you can make it a tool but not a replacement, then i think i'm more on board with it. i don't understand how we pause if china is full speed ahead. i feel like the cat is out of the bag. it is a complicated issue. jobs are one factor. the china risk is another
7:09 am
factor. i think the hearing today i'm hopeful will be good. >> bill: what he has to emphasize is the positive outcomes that are potentially out there for a.i. >> dana: imagine the members of congress. how will this go today? >> the old saying is half of congress doesn't know how to log onto facebook. do you think they really understand this? senate, 3/4 of the senate is 65 and older, right? they aren't familiar with it yet. >> bill: it is a fair point. when we were talking about bitcoin a year and a half ago. that was a big struggle in itself. >> it's amazing. kelly's report 83 million jobs lost. that's one quarter of the u.s. population. question is on the educational level are we teaching in high school and college the types of things dana is answering my question and that's exactly right, no we're not. we're not preparing our students. >> dana: charles payne was looking at statistics in
7:10 am
california in the l.a. public school district. only 9% of black children can pass the reading test at third and eighth grade. we are not teaching anybody enough. i think for white children was in the 40s. it is not good enough. >> if you can use a.i. to help people be creative. let's learn how do i start writing a novel. start brainstorming and thinking outside the box. if it writes the novel for you, you are right. we've lost our critical thinking. >> bill: the first part of your answer is the way he needs to sell it. there are opportunities here. >> uh-huh. >> how will dana do a percy sequel if it's written for her? there is a personal touch to it. >> dana: i don't want an artificial dog, just all the dogs. >> bill: thank you.
7:11 am
>> bill: that's biblical. dust devils spinning up around home plate and how it ended and how the umpire might have saved the day. that's pretty rare. >> dana: rampant crime sweeping over the nation's capital. how the democrat mayor is heading to the hill and accountability there. >> bill: a candidate wanting to raise the voting age to 25. we'll hear from gen z in a moment as we continue next. >> social media is designed purposely to be addicting for young people specifically. tiktok is every day they get to use it every day. voting only comes around once or twice a year. hmm? what is this place? the other side of the rest stop. bundles as far as the eye can see. if you're looking for a first mate, i know a guy. me. i'm the guy. is this oak?

plate saving a child swept up in a dust devil. watch here. that happened in jacks sonville, florida sunday when the whirlwind formed at home plate engulfing a 7-year-old. the team umpire rushed in and able to rescue the boy. i imagine he was disoriented and probably couldn't see with the dust in his eyes there. scary that it happened at home plate. >> bill: what did you say last hour? >> dana: i said had more bats at play. where else do you bat but at the plate i think, right? >> bill: on the mound. where else do you pitch than on the mound? >> dana: i'm learning. slowly but surely. watch here. >> almost 700,000 people live in the nation's capital and i don't

7:19 am
robberies 18%. look at that, motor vehicle theft 113%. with 80 homicides, 80 so far this year. they're up 7%. mother's day weekend got no break. 10 and 12-year-old girls were shot. there is a reward for information. yesterday at a press conference mayor bowser laid out new initiatives and said congress needs to know about this. watch. >> we are experiencing a dangerous trend in some crimes in the city. not unlike cities in their own states or in their own districts. so we are going to be clear about what we're doing to address it. >> blame for this violent crime being laid at the feet of the city council. the d.c. police union defending bowser saying the blame for the increase lies squarely on the shoulders.
7:20 am
d.c. counsel. charles allen and phil mendelson after the house blocked the recent reforms to reduce penalties for violent crimes and finally, bill. fox learned ohio senator vance will force a vote this afternoon to overturn the council's policy. then it would head to the president's desk. >> bill: your city has changed a lot. see how it goes. griff jenkins in washington, d.c. >> dana: let's have debate. republican presidential candidate has a new proposal raising the voting age to 25 unless 18-year-olds meet certain requirements. here is what he said. >> you can vote at 18 if you either do service to this country six months in the military or six months as a first responder, or else at least pass the same civics test
7:21 am
that we make an immigrant pass to actually become a voting citizen in this country. >> dana: what do younger americans think about this? we are at byu and we are with a student at florida state university. the "new york post" said this. raiseings the voting age to 25 is a terrible idea that will hurt gen z. i vigorously the problem he sites. lack of civics knowledge and declining youth patriotism are your urgent issues. >> i'm 21 years old and i agree with the author of that article. i truly believe that americans and especially americans my age should be more involved but taking away the right to vote isn't the way to get them more involved, i don't think
7:22 am
magically by the time we turn 25 we are all knowing and that we are ready to vote. and that if we want to work on civic engagement it begins before we turn 18. it goes toward the educational systems and schools. the point of having a republic in america is that every person who is involved in our society should have the right to vote. whether or not they use it that's on them. >> dana: you had to take a civics test in high school. >> i did. i'm from arizona and we had to take one before we graduated high school. >> dana: good idea. owen, you might have a different point of view. let me know. >> thank you so much for having me on today. yeah i'm very much in favor of ramaswamy's proposal to increase the national voting age to 25 and require 18-25-year-olds to pass a civics exam or serve in some type of civic way to their country. he highlights a lot of issues,
7:23 am
such as you were saying the decline in patriotism and just the decline in military willingness to participate in our military and our armed forces. and really, you know, it comes down to the political education. we are not politically educating our youth. we have the lowest rate of voters in our age group 18-25 and really that's something we want to address. this is not going to disenfranchise anybody. it will only create a more politically literal population and more active youth. >> dana: i would love an answer on this for both of you. the reboot foundation asked young people if they would be willing to -- if they had the choice between social media and tiktok or voting rights, 59% of young adults said they would give them up and 64% said age 13-17 said their social media is more important than voting
7:24 am
rights. something has gone drastically wrong with civics education, i grant that. your thoughts on this, tory. >> that is a really unfortunate statistic, truly. i don't think, though, the way to get disenfranchised voters to vote more is by putting barriers in our place. like i said earlier, it begins before we turn 18. it begins when we're in high school and middle school putting in the values and fixing our education system and helping americans love their country a little bit more is what will get me to vote. that's what gets me to vote and being politically involved. forcing people to join the military. you won't see them running to join the military so they can vote if it's already a problem. it begins before they turn 18. >> dana: owen, last word. >> thank you. really again it's just about the people actually being compelled to vote. the 23% of 18 to 25-year-olds who are currently voting in our
7:25 am
presidential elections and so forth are not going to be affected in any way. they're already passionate and know about their basic u.s. history and civics. other people in this country who genuinely do not care, teenagers, high schoolers, young adults would don't want -- who would prefer their social media over voting, if they don't want to vote, that's -- that's kind of their own issue. >> dana: interesting and wonderful to have some young people on to talk about this. ramaswamy at least got people talking about all this. tory and owen, go have a good day. thank you. >> bill: very thoughtful. >> dana: loved having them on. great idea. >> bill: got a fox news alert. the long-awaited durham report concluding the f.b.i. should never have launched this investigation on the trump team. how washington is reacting. in some corners there are

7:32 am
the government from releasing a migrant without a scheduled court hearing. the biden administration is trying to use its parole with conditions plan that releases a migrant on the honor system arguing there are too many migrants to properly process. now we get a clearer picture of just how many migrants per day the white house is willing to release. court documents reportedly reveal dhs released more than 6,000 migrants without a court date last thursday alone before the judge's ruling blocking that process. the white house calls that judge's ruling sabotage. here in el paso, this city alone reports it released more than 4,000 migrants last week. the highest number of migrants in a single week this year for this city. as we talk to migrants on the street, some who have been released are showing us their release documents. they have court dates as far away as 2026. the back drop of this. mexican cartels are organizing vast amounts of the immigration crisis and being enriched from

us. the atrocities they endured at the hands of the mexican cartels. one migrant we just talked with. >> we saw rapes, a series of things that are inhumane. they stole from us. they mistreated us along the way. the majority by the mexican cartels. >> according to a bp source yesterday less than 4,000 migrant crossings all across the southern border. the numbers are drastically dropping from last week before title 42 expired. thanks. >> appreciate the update. matt finn, el paso, texas. >> dana: another story, john durham concluding the f.b.i. should not have launched its investigation into the trump-russia collusion. the speed and manner the f.b.i. opened the investigation during the presidential election season based on raw and uncorroborated intelligence and different from
7:34 am
how it approached other matters and plans aimed at the clinton campaign. one of the things about this is to imagine that given that the durham report has said the f.b.i. had no evidence on which to base an investigation, you could understand why president trump feels grieved rightly so and how different his administration might have been covered if the f.b.i. had not done this in the first place. >> it is a pretty brutal recounting of what went wrong. it focuses a lot on the f.b.i. let's remember who some of these players are. it is the clinton campaign that goes out and gives orders to find out what they can find out in the way of dirt. a lawyer with perkins co-and he hires fusion gps and hides that fact. elias gets paid 9.2 million in
7:35 am
legal fees by the dnc and clinton campaign and he takes part of that, his billing for glen simpson and then he hires christopher steele who puts together the dossier of a bunch of trash which gets excoriated by durham as being unreliable and unproven. these are the people who put the country into crisis and put a cloud over president trump's first two years in office. >> bill: nikki haley was with us an hour and a half ago and she said heads should roll. >> this happened during the campaign. joe biden needs to speak out about it and hillary clinton does and obama does. go back to the part that is how many files had americans that were declassified in them. what were they looking at and what were they trying to find? who all was involved in this? >> bill: i don't know if shell'
7:36 am
get her wish about heads rolling. here is what strikes me in all of this. i think it's a pretty simple statement. from the "wall street journal." the f.b.i. provided briefings to the clinton campaign an approach that stood in contrast for the lack of such briefings provided to the trump campaign. you are months away from a national election. you go to the clinton team? they are going to the media. it will be blasted out there. it will be repeated over and over and over again until the "washington post" wins a pulitzer prize. now all of america is wrapped up in this thing. they were briefing the clinton team. what did you think they were going to do with that information? >> i think the best indication of how unreformed the system is the f.b.i. statement which refers to all of this as missteps. now, there is a lot of ways you could describe what happened.
7:37 am
particularly by people who have argued for censorship to stop disinformation to protect democracy. this was disinformation that injured democracy. this was basically forcing a duly elected president into three years of scandal based on a false narrative. and the f.b.i. calls it a misstep. it's a little bit more than that. but the problem is that there is not going to be accountability because the media was an active participant. they weren't played by this con. they participated in it. they are hardly going to cover the details of this report. but it is damning like murder on the orient express. they all did it. nobody will be held accountable. >> dana: can i ask you, you are familiar what it's like to witness the media take anonymous sources that feed over and over again for the washington media
7:38 am
to take it and run with it. i wonder if anyone in the media is thinking about those sources who would call them all the time and tell them this and talk it up and the evidence is coming you had to be patient. if any of them think about the sources and think twice about talking to them again? >> we'll see. we are several centuries in journalistic time when it happened and memories can fade and they can make excuses for how they handled this. it is a blot on american journalism and a blot on the f.b.i. i will say there are people who have been held accountable. james comey was fired and he should have been fired. but whether or not christopher wray, the new f.b.i. director, who followed comey has put in place the rules and regulations and procedures that will keep it from happening again. think about this. we have a conspiracy led by a
7:39 am
presidential campaign, the hillary clinton campaign working with a lawyer and an research firm in order to provide an incredible story that is based on lies to affect the outcome of a presidential election. we are glossing over that. who was behind this? help hid it. the campaign manager, one of the key advisors knew nothing about it. who played a role in it? we ought to remember that as we go forward. >> bill: gentlemen, thanks to both of you. now you know why trump was sessions don't concede, don't give in and he did. thank you to both of you. team deniro or team pacino is today's hemmer celebrity news. an online poll posed the question, who is hotter, young
7:40 am
ones. the official response -- come on, that must be generated by a.i. 50/50% tie right there. >> dana: who would you go with? >> bill: is it pacino scar face or deniro in taxi driver? i would take deniro in taxi driver driving his cab down a rainy new york street. >> dana: on our instagram page we'll do a poll as well and see the results we get and hope the staff is listening. they can do this and we'll reveal the results to you. see what you think. >> bill: i like it. do you have an answer? >> dana: not really. i think they look a lot alike at the time. >> bill: a little bit. >> dana: let's go to this. florida governor ron desantis the target of progressives after signing a bill this strips funding from diversity programs at public colleges. one of the professors is saying about that. a lawyer for marine veteran

explaining by penny put jordan in the choke hold as attacks on his client's character grows. paul mauro is here with us. good morning to you. a great source for us trying to understand it. what did you take from the judge's interview with the attorney there? >> there is no evidence whatsoever of any racial animus imbedded in this thing. likely many of the people on the subway car were people in color including one of the people that assisted daniel penny. are we at that stage now where something like this happens and we have to take a racial poll of the people in the subway car? that shouldn't be the issue despite what aoc and the squad not to make it. that's not the way public officials are supposed behave. it will go to a grand jury. daniel penny will be indicted or not indicted by a grand jury of his peers, all right? he has time on that. alvin bragg does. they rushed this and as a result
7:48 am
