This is a flashing red siren for anyone who cares about keeping America safe and free. The Trump administration wants to use A.I. to spy on Americans without a warrant and to give A.I. power to make life and death decisions without humans involved. T... more Unverified source (2026)

It causes a lot of cases to get solved. It’s another tool we’re now not going to have. That facial recognition can potentially solve homicides, [...] Unverified source (2026)

I'm surprised by people who basically use it only to take out costs. Instead, why don't you use it to become more productive and gain market share? You are going to make adoption faster and easier for yourself - and you are going to make it easier fo... more Unverified source (2026)

Whether AI's benefits are widely shared is a political question, has nothing to do with technology. Unverified source (2026)

It should be obvious that applying hallucinatory and unreliable generative AI to weapon systems without humans in the loop could be catastrophic. [...] Paraphrasing a button that I used to wear as a teenager, one hallucination could ruin your whole p... more Unverified source (2026)

To the second part of your question, I am strongly in favor of discussions internationally about things like norms. I think with this point, it would be counterproductive to have outright bans on things that people don't even fully understand what th... more Unverified source (2019)

I'm not a doom and gloomer [about AI's economic impact]. I don't think you're ever going to take the humans out of the picture and AI is going to do everything and we're going to be left working the drive-through window at McDonald's. At the end of t... more Unverified source (2026)

People have the wrong intuition when they say that if AI can do my job for ten dollars an hour, then my wage falls to ten dollars and my life is terrible. A world where AI can do research or teaching at that cost is a world where AI is extremely capa... more Unverified source (2026)

We should be clear-eyed about how painful these changes could be for affected workers and how challenging it would be for the government and the private sector to successfully manage the fallout. [...] AI-centric start-ups with radically new business... more Unverified source (2026)

The immediate danger is not that machines will act without human oversight; it is that human overseers have no idea what the machines are actually "thinking." State-of-the-art AI systems are essentially "black boxes." We know the inputs and outputs, ... more Unverified source (2026)

[...] principles requiring that AI be explicable are misguided. We should be deciding which decisions require explanations. Automation is still an option; Unverified source (2019)

For no more than $100 million a year – a rounding error against a $735 billion budget – Australia could position itself as a world leader in one of the defining industries of this century. [...] A commitment of $100 million a year could position Aust... more Unverified source (2026)

When it comes to AI tools, we need to demand that companies do a human rights impact assessment when they design, roll out and market them. [...] Artificial intelligence is a technological tool and it needs to be developed on the basis of risk assess... more Unverified source (2026)

Finally, it’s not clear how well some of the act’s provisions reflect the current state of the AI ecosystem. The act demands that labs hire an independent third party to complete an annual audit of their protocols to ensure compliance with the act. T... more Unverified source (2025)

I remain deeply concerned at the lack of progress on the global governance of artificial intelligence. Decision-making on AI's rapid development sits disproportionately within private companies without significant checks and balances. AI risks and sa... more Unverified source (2026)

The question that people are debating is whether it makes sense to regulate research and development of AI. And I don't think it does. Unverified source (2023)

The volume that we're dealing with is one where eventually we do need to switch from this kind of voluntary reporting, to more mandatory form of reporting. [...] The insight you can derive from mandatory reporting is greater than that of this volunta... more Unverified source (2026)

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. Unverified source (2025)

We have to be more cautious regarding children's safety. Just as a school syllabus is carefully curated, the AI space too must be child-safe and family-guided. Unverified source (2026)

Competition, innovation, and speech options will be limited as a result of these moves. Unverified source (2026)

If you profit from deploying AI that affects people's fundamental rights, you must evaluate it, manage its risks, and be accountable when it discriminates. Unverified source (2026)

As jurisdictions introduce AI incident reporting requirements with differing definitions and thresholds, developing shared taxonomies and standards can help harmonize reporting, enable coordinated responses, and ensure incident data informs policy an... more Unverified source (2026)

This deepfake is a disgrace and the NRSC should put it down immediately. Political deepfakes are a profound threat to our democracy, because there is no realistic way for voters to understand they are seeing fake representations rather than real vide... more Unverified source (2026)

While there are many problems with this proposal, a few stand above the others and are fatal to this effort. First, the Commission lacks statutory authority to require disclosure or disclaimers on political advertisements that utilize “artificial int... more Unverified source (2024)

The tax code in the US and many other countries places a heavier burden on firms that hire labor than on those that invest in algorithms to automate work. [...] Policymakers should aim to create a more symmetric tax structure, equalizing marginal tax... more Unverified source (2026)

Capitalism has also depended on somewhat of a power balance between labor and capital, but if it's hard in many of our current jobs to outwork a GPU, then that changes. [...] If there was an easy consensus answer, we'd have done it by now, so I don't... more Unverified source (2026)

I think quality homes in good locations will be extremely valuable. Those could be taxed more. You could call that a wealth tax, but arguably it is closer to a "housing services tax". [...] You could put higher consumption taxes on items the wealthy ... more Unverified source (2026)

In 2024 I would have said it's about 40-50% likely that LLMs scaled up to ASI would end up killing us all; now I would say that it's only about 5-8% likely even with no additional progress on alignment, and more like 1-2% likely simpliciter. Unverified source (2026)

I have heard zero people advocating "make AI do our ASI alignment homework" show they understand the elementary computer science of why that's hard: you can't verify inside a loss function whether a proposed ASI alignment scheme is any good. Unverified source (2026)
