So it's kind of a bad case of main character syndrome where, you know, where like the regulators think they're the main characters in this.
No, look, the regulators are the supporting players.
The main characters always have to be the entrepreneurs.
It's got to be the innovators.
That's how you unlock innovation.
When the
When you start to see yourself, I mean, the regulators and the policymakers as the main characters, that's not a great recipe for innovation.
Well, I think there are Orwellian scenarios of AI that I think we should be concerned about.
And again, I tend to think that those scenarios were described by George Orwell, not by James Cameron and the Terminator.
And specifically, it's misuse of AI by government.
