That was really hard to hear when I was 16 and in this public eye and I wanted people to take me seriously so bad and I was fighting an uphill battle on it.

And still am.

But I refuse to hold the pressure of perfect.

Yeah.

There was a robot that came in.

When I think about AI, I think about deepfakes.

And most of deepfakes, like in the 90-something percentage—

And almost all of that is of women.

And when I think about what it looks like to be one of the first Gen Z women to run for this level of office for Congress, I think about the threat level to my personal well-being.

for things like ai and deep fakes right like this is a new kind of digital violence gender-based violence and i hardly hear people talk about we don't hear about it that much yeah it's not the conversation i hear about ai but it will impact who decides to lead and who decides to take up space in our public square and who decides that it's just not worth it that they've been intimidated out of it and it doesn't just impact the women who are at the center of it right who

A deep fake is made of.

It affects every woman that sees it and thinks, not me.

Right.

Oh.

My transformative mistake.

That's a good question.

This is a non-answer in some ways.

I am a big believer that things are always unfolding as they should.

And so I don't really have many regrets.

I think things, even when they're unclear to you, are working out the way they're supposed to.
