It would create a sovereign wealth fund through a one-time 50 percent tax — not on the profits of OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI and other companies, but paid with something far more valuable than that: the stock. [...] the billions, if not trillions, of dol... more AI Verified source (2026)

[On proposals to redistribute AI/semiconductor windfall profits to citizens through a national dividend:] AI is a very young technology. We don't know exactly which way it's going to go. We don't know how well the semiconductor producers are going to... more Unverified source (2026)

[Huang's] lobbying could turbocharge China's military and undercut American technological leadership. Unverified source (2026)

If the United States hadn't forced our country, our companies, and our industry, we wouldn't have done something like this. But we are also grateful to the US for enabling our country's semiconductor industry chain to truly grow. AI Unverifiable source (2026)

Last week, we saw AI misuse lead to the early retirement of one Chief Constable. Now, the police reportedly plan to use AI to usher in an era of 'predictive policing', targeting criminals before they commit crimes. This is unbelievably unwise. The us... more Unverified source (2026)

If you talk about live facial recognition or predictive policing, there will be bias. [...] There is no point releasing something to policing that has bias in it that's not recognised, and everything should be done to minimise it to a level where it ... more AI Verified source (2026)

While today's White House Executive Order represents a step in the right direction toward protecting America from national security risks, its purely voluntary nature lacks real teeth. [...] Powerful AI frontier models that exhibit dangerous capabili... more AI Verified source (2026)

According to the proposed rule, a covered US person will be required to provide quarterly reports to BIS if the US person “engages in, or plans, within six months, to engage in ‘applicable activities.’” “Applicable activities” include: “Conducting a... more Unverified source (2024)

We want to make sure that our most critical sensitive data is stored in Europe. [...] We want to be sure nobody has a kill switch. AI Verified source (2026)

By pairing a strict mandate with unrealistic standards that the EU itself cannot meet, the Commission is effectively giving national capitals carte blanche to shut out trusted global vendors from every major technology-producing nation outside the Un... more AI Verified source (2026)

Oh, it certainly could, yes. I think anybody who said that there's no way it'll lead to the extinction of humans just isn't facing reality. AI Verified source (2026)

AI has become the new climate change. It's this imminent catastrophe that is requiring all this government intervention. But there's very little evidence to support it. AI Verified source (2026)

For years, I've been ringing the alarm bells about the dangers of a national surveillance state built on facial recognition technology. Now, we're seeing Trump's lawless federal agents deploy this technology on our streets across the nation as he tri... more AI Verified source (2026)

Facial biometrics is the bedrock of what we're trying to do to make sure that we know who the people are that are coming into this country, and that all the vetting and security, the apparatus that we have that goes beyond it, is really compounded on... more AI Verified source (2026)

There needs to be an agency really in charge of overseeing these kinds of decisions. [...] As the power of AI continues to grow, this question of international commitment becomes pressing. AI Verified source (2026)

[This is] a significant overreach of the U.N.'s mandate and competence. We will not cede authority over AI to international bodies that may be influenced by authoritarian regimes seeking to impose their vision of controlled surveillance societies. AI Verified source (2026)

Allowing those who are richer to put more in than those who are poor runs counter to any notion that there's any kind of redistributive justice taking place. AI Verified source (2026)

We need to take heed when the leaders in this field say that there need to be safety precautions taken with this rapidly developing technology. The RAISE Act will ensure there are protocols in place in the event of a major security risk and help New ... more AI Verified source (2025)

If you have to report to 50 different state regulators at 50 different times with 50 different definitions, it's extremely onerous. And it's going to slow down innovation, and it's going to hinder our progress in the AI race. AI Verified source (2025)

New York is poised to be the first government in the United States to do what Americans have been screaming for: require basic guardrails for AI safety. Developers have promised to keep us safe, and this bipartisan bill simply ensures that they keep ... more AI Verified source (2025)
