So, it's going to always favor us in the long run based on what?

So, at Meta, as you all are dealing with this and trying to be able to think through partnerships, whether it be cloud-basing with Alibaba or whether it be actually partnerships with PRC entities for research in the area of AI, how should…

I think we have to write these kind of agreements that make sure that that data is the people's data.

But we have to put something in statutory language at some point to be able to say this is off limits, this is limits.

I am looking to spark a conversation that we have got to have in a larger community because that value piece is still not established for us.

Thanks for holding the hearing. Obviously, we have a lot we have to learn because we have to figure out how to not limit this technology but to manage its use.

I have real concerns on that because if you have an AI representative in each agency, their job is to increase AI usage.

We are not going to buy an off the shelf item for AI and just assume it has good ethics that is built into it.

We cannot have a situation where we are that far out of date, especially with something like this.

Obviously, the Constitution is the first set of values, but then we have to be able to set for each one of those, what is that responsible use?

We have not been able to get good clarity among all of us on, how do you define what is that value of what is responsible use of AI in each sector.

It is not a simple issue, to say the least on it.

The most difficult thing that I continue to be able to hear is the continual term everyone throws around, we just want to make sure there is responsible use of AI, to which I always smile and say, define that for me.

I do not think we should have an AI office in each one of our Federal entities.

Yes, we have a weapon system that was delivered about five years ago that was delivered with Microsoft 7 on board five years ago.
