We're going to embrace the future and try to make sure America dominates in the future.
And that's such a radical departure from both the safety ism of the Biden administration, but also, frankly, the safety ism of a lot of our friends in Europe.
And I had been there for about 24 hours.
I had met with Emmanuel Macron, the leader of France, had a good conversation and a lot of the other people in Europe.
And the thing that I kind of picked up is that they're so terrified
about the problems with AI.
And to be clear, there are problems with AI.
But if you're so terrified with the problems with AI, you don't actually embrace the potential, then you're going to get the worst of the problems without any of the benefits at the upside of it.
And that's what I think was so broken about our administration's approach during the Biden years.
And it's what's so different about our actual administration here during the Trump years.
So our attitude is, yeah, there are some consumer protection issues.
There are some data privacy issues.
We don't want the AI companies to do what the big tech companies did in 2020 and 2021, which is steal people's data and then censor an entire large swath of the American people for saying things that were said to be conspiracies, but later turned out to be true.
We're not going to do that.
But we're also going to embrace innovation.
We're going to make sure that America stays at the leading edge of the artificial intelligence boom.
And we think when that happens, it's going to create a lot of jobs.
It's going to create a lot of productivity.
We talked about agriculture.
I think it's going to lead to a new food revolution where we can grow a lot more food on a lot less land.
