this is a very serious structural issue here that we're going to have to think hard about, and the control of this technology by just a handful of companies and governments is a huge, huge problem.

I think the path that things are going, in terms of the scaling of open source models, I think it's going down a very dangerous path.

Will the Senate actually act? Will the leadership in both parties--both parties--will it actually be willing to act?

It seems to me that your technology melded with theirs could make them an enormous sum of money. That would be great for them. Would it be so good for the American consumer?

I appreciate that you want your models to be ethical and so forth. That's great.

That is the true nightmare. And for my money, that is what this body has got to prevent.

This is an absolutely critical foundational right.

It's been a privilege to get to work with him. These have been incredibly substantive hearings.

If we don't have things in place that are restraining what can be done with AI systems, we're going to have a really bad time.

Whatever we do, it has to happen fast.

As AI develops, we've got to make sure that we have safeguards in place that will ensure this new technology is actually good for the American people.

I want to thank Senator Blumenthal for being willing to do something about this problem.

Don't you think that that would be frightening?

Let me get at this problem from a slightly different angle, which is, let's imagine a hypothetical in which the Communist government of Beijing decides to launch an invasion of Taiwan.

I think the path that things are going, in terms of the scaling of open source models, I think it's going down a very dangerous path.

Well, you say that you tell the model not to produce misinformation. I'm not sure exactly what that means, but do you tell it not to help massive companies make a profit?

if we don't do it with China soon--frankly, we should've done it a long time ago--if we don't do it very, very quickly, I think we're in real trouble.

As part of securing our supply chain here in this area, should we consider limitations, if not outright prohibitions, on components that are manufactured in China?
