And it's not just competition. It's that the problems we work on are curiosity driven and sometimes they are really public good. For example, my own lab, we're collaborating with hospitals to prevent seniors from falling. That is not necessarily a commercially lucrative technology, but it's humanistically important. And universities do all kinds of work like that.

Now our universities in the age of AI is so under-resourced that we cannot do this kind of work. I have been working really hard in the past five years with HAI, with Washington, D.C., with Congress people, senators, White House agencies to try to encourage the resourcing of AI through National AI Research Cloud and data. And then we have legislation and regulation.

I was also chatting with Yuval. Did he give the C minus grade to humanity? Did he say that?

I was also chatting with Yuval. Did he give the C minus grade to humanity? Did he say that?
He said that humanity has gotten a C minus. And I was like, Yuval, you know, I'm a teacher and a mom. When a kid comes home with C minus, you don't throw the kid out. We help the kid to get better. So first of all, you're right. We're not living in a vacuum. And AI also is not living in a vacuum. AI is just one technology that's among many. So I absolutely do believe that there can be cooperation.

How exactly we cooperate, who we cooperate with, and what are the parameters of cooperation is much, much more complicated. Look at humanity. We have gone through this so many times. I mean, you're always right. We have many messy chapters, even nuclear technology. But we have gotten to a state that there is a fine balance at this point of nuclear powers.
