And I think about thinking of pace as a lever here is really important.
It really matters how quickly people lose their jobs, how quickly we transition to new technologies, which things we as regulators decide to preserve and to demand that humans continue to do.
Something we've been very comfortable doing in the context of medicine, for example, is insisting that there are some things that a doctor needs to do.
Not necessarily because the technological frontier is determining those things, but because we as a society have decided we want a person to be doing it.
Those are the types of questions we're increasingly going to need to engage and that we should start talking about before they actually need to be made.
And I think, you know, also questions around how important is work to us.
At some point, we may reach as a society, a point where, you know, the cheapest way to do something may not be the best way to do it for society, right?
You may want to pay people to work, basically, or accept the cost to society in having people continue to do jobs that could be done by technology.
So there's a bunch of levers that are potentially available to policymakers to mitigate the pace of change associated with AI.
And I certainly wish we were hearing more conversation about them from those policymakers.
Yeah, I mean, I always discount the hype machine in Silicon Valley, right?
Like they make money by hyping everything.
Every new technology is going to transform the world yesterday.
But I also think there's very little harm in having policymakers get down to these conversations as soon as possible.
