They also plan to ask to relax immigration restrictions to bring more A.I. experts to the United States. 6park.com科技公司高管计划利用这次活动直接游说反对他们认为繁琐的人工智能监管规定，并要求政府在这项技术和研究上增加支出，以支持其发展。他们还计划要求放宽移民限制，让更多的人工智能专家来到美国。 6park.com 6park.comThe event highlights an unusual area of agreement between Washington and Silicon Valley, which have long clashed on topics like data privacy, children’s online protections and even China. 6park.com这次活动显示华盛顿和硅谷在一个不同寻常的领域达成了一致，长期以来，双方在数据隐私、儿童网络保护甚至中国等问题上一直存在冲突。 6park.com 6park.com“At the end of the day, whether you are in industry or government, or whatever side of the aisle you are on, we play for team America,” said Representative Jay Obernolte of California, the Republican chair of the House A.I.
