And all of a sudden, not only are we out of a job,

in which case we lose our work, our income, our human dignity.

But then this thing becomes so advanced that we lose control of AI completely.

And that's where people really worry about these loss of control scenarios leading to AI just being the successor species to human beings.

Absolutely.

So I'll start with the second point quickly and say we have to choke off the supply of advanced chips to China.

We have to pass legislation like the Chip Security Act that Senator Tom Cotton from Arkansas has been championing.

There's another House bill moving to the House Foreign Affairs Committee now, hopefully to the full House, the AI Overwatch Act.

Those are a couple of pieces of legislation that are similar and that they're trying to restrict access to chips from China.

That's critical in this effort.

Going back to your first point, though, yes, I think the President needs to have someone who is focused on national security, who says we have to have transparency and accountability, we need the federal government to have oversight on the frontier labs.

There needs to be mandatory testing, we need to have eyes on this on these frontier models which are potentially building.

artificial general intelligence or super intelligence.

That is the path we're on.

And right now there's no access, there's no transparency, there's no accountability.

And so we definitely need someone at that level to do that.

And there is a bill there as well by Senator Josh Hawley from Missouri.

He's championing the AI Risk Evaluation Act, which would do just that.

And it would give that

to the federal government to say.
