Discussion on Technology Safety and Regulation

And I want to thank President Donald J.

Trump, uh, who is the only person on the planet who

could have assembled this

meeting today and held it here, and it was very timely and appropriate.

What was discussed today could be summarized i-i- in this way: We have to

strike the right balance here, the balance between the interests of the

American people in benefiting from the extraordinary advancements that are being

made with this new technology,

with the necessity of maintaining our edge over China and any other competitors

that might emerge around the globe, and that the superintelligence

companies ensure the safety of the products that they are

producing. They are fiercely dedicated to that,

and that was articulated

very well today in the meeting.

I can kind of summarize what I think we all signed today, um, which

is, right, it's the White House Accord on, on, um, on

developing this technology safely.

The basic idea is that we wanna give the American

people and our customers confidence that the technology works in

the way that we intend. Right? So every company is building something

that's a

little bit different. They don't have a one

set

of

standards for what is, what everyone should wanna

build. Um, people wanna do some different things,

but I think what we can all

agree on is that the American public and our customers

wanna know that what we're building is working in the way that we all intend.

So we drafted a set of, of principles and commitments around

building robust internal controls and detecting if there are any

issues with the technology, coupled with, uh, multiple

layers of, of auditing and controls, starting with

internal risk review, external auditors and evaluators, and

agreeing that we're gonna have all of our boards of directors independently

review the reports that come from the auditors.

I think these are good steps

forward. The idea isn't that this is the only thing that we will ever do.

It is that this is a start and an accord that the whole industry can

come

to, and I was very proud, uh, to have that discussion

with, uh, a number of our colleagues who I think

are running great companies.

Um, you know, it was sort of a, a historic conversation.

I don't think anything like this has come before and, um, I think this is a

meaningful step forward.

And they wanna do the right things.

These are people that love our country.

I can tell you that. There's a belief that

there should be tremendous

self-regulation.

Regulators. We regulate any stealing of his property.

We're damn good, too. But you can't be any geek off the street.

Gotta be handy with the steel, if you know what I mean. Earn your keep.

Regulators!

Mount up.
