Senator Mark Warner

Every year since 2017, last nine years, including the first year of Trump too last year, there's been a major section

talking about foreign interference in our elections, there was no section even on that threat.

And I can promise you, Russia, China, Iran have not disarmed about their ability to use misinformation, disinformation to try to screw with our elections as well.

Yeah.

I think this idea of making ICE, who I don't think would operate with the same professionalism that our military does, many of these folks are brand new hires who seem to be really loyal to this president.

I'm not saying it's a dry run, but as we've heard, and there's been public reporting, the TSA agents, and God knows we've got to get them paid and fully back to work, but the TSA agents

have been saying, hey, these guys are not helping.

If anything, they're putting us all on edge.

They're not doing anything.

So even the possibility that this is a dry run ought to concern us.

You know, I'm glad the court ruled the way it did.

I think the tech platforms who've lived under this protection of what's called Section 230

is long overdue for review.

And I've spoken, we've had a flurry of AI summits this week in DC, and I am very optimistic about AI over the next 10 years and the benefits it can bring.

I am terrified about the amount of short-term job loss it's going to create.

Exponentially more

terrified today than I was even three months ago when you see products like Anthropix Cloud rock the software industry, rock the HR industry, and that's just the current version.

And I think the tech community at large, because both the social media companies have mostly morphed into the AI big hyperscalers, if they don't recognize that they have

not only a moral obligation to our kids, but also an economic obligation to help people get through this AI transition, I think you're going to have populism from the left and right come in and, you know, frankly, try to stop this innovation, which would also be a mistake because this is truly a case where we don't want China to win the AI struggle.

Thank you, Scott, and thanks for having me on.
