Regulation and Oversight of Technology

-tropic, and I would hope other companies, have done everything we

can to try to, uh,

have legitimate oversight mechanisms.

I think the government and the public needs to have a stake,

and this is why we've supported regulation of the technology.

Regulation constrains the private companies.

Regulation allows the public and its elected res-

representatives to have a st- uh, to have a say and

limits what the private companies can do.

Now, you might ask, why doesn't government just control the

technology completely?

Would you be willing to give up the technology to the government?

To the, to the right combination of governments.

So the worry I have-

You're willing to hand over this company?

The, the... I wanna be very clear about this.

The wor- the worry I have, I am concerned that one

single government could abuse this technology just as

easily as a single company could. But I think a

combination of democratically elected

governments, I don't know about handing over,

but some kind

of oversight, some kind of joint

governance. Again, that would be the work of years,

but I wonder if that's the direction we need to go in
