The problem with any regulator is to make their job worthwhile, they need to regulate.

Otherwise, why are they there?

So once you've created a room of regulators, then regulations will happen.

So we're regulating, not legislating.

And we need to get back to what do we want this to look like in 10 years?

What does good look like?

I think there's not one single thing.

So firstly, I think we should be absolutely making sure that AI does not and has not got the capacity or the control to talk people through suicide or to allow people to suicide themselves.

That needs to be controlled.

age appropriate, you know, 14 year olds using AI to discuss relationships, to have relationships with the AI, like that needs to be legislated.

So I don't think we need, we can't stop this.

Yes.

Is that what you're saying?

Maybe it's guardrails, but ultimately, you know, what social media shows me is that

Whatever legislation we try and put in place or controls we put in place, we're not equipped.

We're just getting to the point now where schools are saying you can't bring your phone into school.

We should have done that 10 years ago, right?

When we had 12-year-olds with phones, we should have worked out pretty quickly that there's no good that can come from a 12-year-old on a phone all day.

So I think governments need to move quicker.

They need to realize what's coming.
