You could see AI tools at scale and speed manipulate our history.

I am not going to get so excited about where COVID happened to come from. What I know is that something very dangerous could come from Gain-of-Function research if it's not properly regulated.

Palestinians have a right to live and not to be collectively treated as if they are part of a terrorist group when they are not.

Leveling Gaza to the ground and unnecessarily killing thousands of innocent civilians in the process has a short term moral cost, but it has a long term strategic cost.

I do not want us to lose credibility.

Gaza--Israel has a right to defend itself, and the U.S. needs to be a partner with Israel in defending itself against those who would annihilate it: Hamas, Iranian backed militias, Hezbollah, Houthis, Iran itself.

While their research has the potential to cure diseases and boost our economy, unless they accept Federal funding, there is very little Federal oversight to ensure that private labs are engaged in safe and ethical research.

I stand by my earlier statement. You are doing a good job because that is a pretty darn comprehensive answer.

In order to expand the scope of oversight to all privately funded research would require a legislative action.

I will go back to my classified hearing.

I do think there is a unique contribution from South Asia separately.
