Yes and no. The hint of concern to me is... that we haven't had an event that catalyzes, I think, the gut feeling that most of us have that at some point there's going to be something that goes really wrong because of AI. And I think that's natural in any technology evolution. There's more of a fear of the unknown element of it, I think, the voice on that shoulder of it.

But I think I'm more positive about the fact that I think we as a nation have continually taken a relatively healthy posture on saying, at the end of the day, nobody's having AI directly make a human decision where there's life on the line or these sorts of things.

And we, as logical human beings, regardless of what policy may or may not say, we can still make really good informed decisions to go, that just doesn't make sense, right? And we have... You know, whether it's at the policy in the congressional level or the individuals that lead our agencies in the government, these are, you know, brilliant, driven, you know, well-thinking individuals.

have the care of the United States and citizenry in our four nations at hand. And there's still going to be gaps in policy where people need to make decisions, right? And so that's where I'm comfortable that I think we're still in an okay boundary. But at some point, I think we all worry about when do the bots take over and all that.

There's too much science fiction out there to not have a little bit of conversation around that. But But we do need to – I think the concern for me in the policy domain also just goes to the larger – how does the larger political environment make sure – that we're doing what's right for policy, not for politics.

That's a non-parochial view of the world, but I think it's something that we're going to continue to battle as the nation, right? And, you know, over-regulation isn't the right answer, right? No regulation isn't the right answer. And I think a two-party system that kind of ebbs and flows that policy back and forth generally over the arc of history is as good as we can get.

So I have confidence in the people in the system, I think, to back up the policy because none of us could write a perfect policy, right?
