I would really urge you to revisit them."📢 Memorable Quotes"With great power comes great responsibility, and I think that some of us who have spent more time and energy in these security, data privacy, and AI governance domains, maybe some of those risks become more evident." – Evan Glaser"You can't, in my experience, ever draw a firm line in the sand and say, 'This facet of technology will never work.' ...it really pays to be willing to revisit your priors." – Evan Glaser"AI is not coming.
