And so I can't help but look at this and wonder,

Could this kind of nascent segment of the tech industry, artificial intelligence, also just run out the clock in perpetuity?

And...

it's got a really big bully stick that it's carrying around.

And that is how much it is driving the US economy.

And we're talking about a third to more than half of GDP growth at this moment is coming from artificial intelligence and the build out of artificial intelligence.

And that is a big reason that it took so long for this executive order to be enacted.

But at the same time, many of those economic benefits aren't being distributed broadly to everyone.

I mean, they're flowing to the few.

Across a broad swath of the country, what people are living with are anxieties about what this technology is going to do.

Is it going to eliminate my job?

Is it going to result in a data center in the backyard?

Is it going to break up a family?

If those pain points begin to bleed from the progressive populist wing and the MAGA populist wing of the country into a broader swath of the public, then the pressure to take action and have real regulation will be impossible to ignore.

Thanks so much for having me.

Patrick's right.

We can make a call today on how he's done over the past 15 years and say, clearly he'll be remembered today as the most successful successor to an accomplished executive, to a founder.

I mean, what Tim Cook did today

is rare, whether you're talking about the world of business or sports or even politics.

If you have somebody who's kind of a figurehead in the same way Steve Jobs was, seldom do you have somebody come along behind them and continue or sustain that success.
