Discussion on AI Regulation and Safety

So let's learn the lesson of 9/11. There was a failure of

imagination. People could not imagine that a

bunch of guys would go learn how to fly and fly commercial

airliners into buildings, and now we're facing the

same thing, and we faced it during COVID.

Yeah.

There was a failure of imagination, a failure of honesty.

Now we are facing it with artificial intelligence.

And why are we doing this again? Why are we letting ourselves

be,

you know, just walled into inaction because we can't

figure out how to bring people

together?

Right.

There are enough distinguished Americans who've been sounding the alarm.

You know, Hank Paulson and Bob Rubin just wrote an article.

They said, "Look, we've dealt with financial crises,

but what's happening

with AI dwarfs that."

Yeah.

Now, we could get people who know a lot, and enough to know how to

translate what they're hearing from the scientists and

others to say, "Here's what we should do," and

that should be on warp

speed. I'm glad you mentioned warp speed because

the one

good thing-

Mm-hmm

... that Donald Trump did in his first term

was warp speed.

Right.

And he won't take credit for it because he wants to listen to the crazies-

Right

... who don't wanna talk about, you know, how effective the vaccine was in saving

people's lives. So let's put an AI commission on warp

speed

and figure out what we're gonna do to sensibly regulate.

And what I'm hearing from, you know, the leaders, uh, you know,

Sam and Dario and others, is they're basically saying,

"Stop us before something really bad happens." I

can't stop myself because I'm not sure he's gonna stop,

and I'm not sure those guys

over in China are gonna stop.

Well, that's the issue.

Help us stop.

The president of China is coming to the White House.

In two weeks.

In two weeks.

There should be a

concerted effort by this government to

get off of the lies, get off of social media,

quit worrying about

ballrooms and ridiculous arches, and come up with

a plan to enlist the Chinese. The Chinese have their own

issues. They need control in order to stay in

power.

So they may have a different view than we do about regulation, but

they can't let this thing go on-

Well, I, I, I'm so glad-

... without having it reined in

... I'm so glad you said that
