Have a good one.

Cheers.

Let me tell you all about Shopify.

Shopify is the commerce platform that grows with your business and lets you sell in seconds, online, in-store, on mobile, on social, on marketplaces, and now with AI agents.

I think our next guest is joining in just a minute, but in the meantime, we can talk about the AI executive order.

This was signed today by the president, and Dean Ball has some context here.

He says, wow, this EO is almost exactly similar to the leaked text from the EO

the president chose not to sign because it was too regulatory.

The only major difference is that the voluntary pre-deployment review process is now only 30 days rather than 90 days.

That's a concession, but a very small one compared to what I would have expected based on the president's remarks about the earlier draft.

So if you haven't been following along,

AI companies will be able to voluntarily submit their new models to the U.S.

government for review.

Now the government will get back to them in 30 days as opposed to 90 days, evaluate them and make a call or give advice or give some sort of commentary.

Every word that comes from the government is a potential lawsuit in the future and so, or will show up in a potential lawsuit and so you can expect a lot of thought and care given to whatever the

whatever the government responds to.

A lot of government applications from the FDA previously, the response would be no comment, and no comment is tacit approval.

The FDA, with some products, with a lot of nutritional supplements and food ingredients, they don't necessarily want to say,

This is FDA approved because that's a very high bar.

There's a lot of regulatory and risk and legal ramifications from approving something, but they can decline to comment.
