Debate on AI Legislation and Governance

Senator Sanders had actually worked on a piece of legislation that I don't even

think was written by him or his team.

In fact, to my reading online-

Mm

... and to my research, it came from an organization

or a individual in the United

Kingdom. And so what I would say is President Trump has been very direct

about

putting guardrails on AI. But for Bernie Sanders to come in

and say that they

want to, um, prevent maybe better companies from being

able to

develop technology, um, essentially creating a monopoly for some

of these big

corporations, a little bit odd. And it's also even more odd that he's not

addressing the fact that Anthropic, um, one of their actually-

CEOs actually called for a tech governance board that would

basically require republics like ourselves to answer to them, and that's not

exactly something that we were based upon with our Founding Fathers,

ideologically speaking. Um, so what I would say is that, of course,

we want

these companies to be safe, and of course, we're always concerned about the human

interface in this. But when you're talking about a moratorium,

understand what that

means, and that allows China to succeed.

So what I would say is, obviously, we are looking at res- ways to resolve this.

I have a piece of legislation that I'm working on that would actually,

um,

help address those concerns. I think that people, obviously,

especially with new

technology, should be aware-

Mm-hmm

... of both the positives and the negatives,

but to blanket label and do what

Bernie Sanders is doing, I always say, look, the devil's in the details,

and I'm very curious as to why he's not holding that same standard, for example,

um, with China, why he's not addressing the fact

that a lot of these

companies are indeed embracing Chinese AI if they're not actually

built here in the United States, and that's exactly why we need assure

that we're,

make sure that we're actually dominating that space versus China.
