So once again, we're at the point where in a perfect world – voice-verified

The regulators would be all over this, and they would be getting the testimony from the right experts and trying to craft thoughtful regulation to minimize the worst risks of this kind of technology without slowing down genuine innovation or the potential upside of it. voice-verified

They should be doing it now. voice-verified

You've got to stay ahead of the curve. voice-verified

So let me say something because I was at Dubai. voice-verified

One thing that's interesting is that it's – the whole thing, especially like the future form, is very corporate, which is fine. voice-verified

So it was a little bit different than the academic conferences that I'm used to. voice-verified

It had more of a corporate vibe to it. voice-verified

But it's good for me. voice-verified

I think it was good to get a perspective, to get that perspective. voice-verified

And one of the panels, one of the guys running a company doing this kind of cutting-edge research is like, yeah, we prefer operating in that phase before the regulators know we exist because then we get to do whatever we want. voice-verified

Of course we do. voice-verified

And they're always behind. voice-verified

They always are playing catch-up late. voice-verified

So that means you have this phase where you can just do whatever you want without having to worry about regulation. voice-verified

So that's kind of – I agree with that, the idea that regulators tend to be decades behind sometimes. voice-verified

regulating these new technologies when they really need to – like we need a system. voice-verified

We need – like there should be an office or whatever. voice-verified

There's got to be people whose job it is to keep an eye on emerging technologies that may need to be regulated before the genie is out of the bottle, right? voice-verified

I mean again, not to be ageist. voice-verified
