It's getting more and more sophisticated, as you know.

We are seeing a plethora of ads that use AI.

It would just require a disclosure, kind of like what you see now where it says, this ad has been sponsored by whoever the sponsor is.

That's just a transparency requirement.

There's other ways that we can look at the use of AI, for example, combating robocalls.

How can we use AI to combat robocalls, for example?

And then finally, for me, making sure connectivity for all communities that need to participate in the AI economy is affordable and available to everyone.

I mean, we have just seen breathtaking consolidation in the media markets.

Certainly, yeah.

Now, the Warner Brothers-Paramount merger is actually not something that's before the FCC from a licensed perspective.

But there's one thing that we do have to...

act on, and that is we have to approve the foreign ownership component of that transaction.

This is basically foreign-controlled funds that are going to half-own a very large media organization.

And these are governments, the governments of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, governments that at least one of which we know murdered a reporter because our intelligence agencies told us so.

They're not friendly to press freedom.

They use the media for geopolitical purposes.

Now, this is indirect ownership.

So Paramount and Warner Brothers would say, well, but they're not voting.

But you've got to be kidding me.

You don't think a call to the CEO is going to make a difference about what gets produced and what doesn't get produced?
