But those are all the specifics we have in hand at this moment.

So we'll be waiting to see what emerges on the president's desk.

We do know this is a priority for the administration, for the president, for his top AI advisor, David Sachs, as well as the tech industry.

We've heard from Jensen Wang.

We have heard from Mark Andreessen.

We've heard from OpenAI and Google that they really would like to rein in what they call a patchwork of state level rules.

There are 38 states enacting almost 100 measures so far this year, and it's becoming a bit much in their view.

Shep, my sense from what I'm hearing out of DC is that this EO will focus more on the why those state laws are bad rather than proactive.

Here's one great rule for everyone.

But politically, it's really interesting because it's not as if Republicans broadly are supporting the president.

in diluting or detracting from state powers.

I think of Ron DeSantis, for example, his position on this has been quite clear.

So private industry, of course, would support that.

But politically, the president has to do some management here.

Well, absolutely, Ed.

And really, regulating AI has been a politically tricky issue from the get-go.

And the reason is there are so many different points of view on artificial intelligence.

There are a handful of members in Congress who are accelerations, who really want to speed the adoption of technology, setting aside whatever needs there might be for regulation.

And then there are others who really want to slow it down.

They're in the middle.
