If a country has powerful servers and chips made in Taiwan, but the model, the pipeline, and the governance model are still controlled with the values of Silicon Valley or of Beijing, then you have not democratized. Unverified source (2026)

I definitely don't think we should align it to a specific philosophical theory that is not really robust for the real world, but actually getting public input for a lot of topics is very difficult because the public has not had the time to think abou... more Unverified source (2026)

There is no upper limit on how intelligent AIs will get or on how good robots will get, and I believe the advances will not plateau before exceeding human levels. [...] AI capabilities will allow us to make far more goods and services with less labor... more AI Verified source (2026)

To think that new technologies will automatically benefit everyone is to ignore the evidence. (Magnifica humanitas, §161) AI Verified source (2026)

It is not permissible to entrust lethal or otherwise irreversible decisions to artificial systems. No algorithm can make war morally acceptable. (Magnifica humanitas, §198) Unverified source (2026)

Objective-driven AI systems will be safe and will remain under our control, because we set their objectives and guardrails and they can't deviate from them. Agentic systems can plan action sequences to accomplish a task, subject to safety guardrails ... more Unverified source (2025)

It is not permissible to entrust lethal or otherwise irreversible decisions to artificial systems. No algorithm can make war morally acceptable. (Magnifica humanitas, §198) Unverified source (2026)

At first, lethal autonomous weapons systems that cannot guarantee use in conformity with international humanitarian law — that is, systems that are intrinsically indiscriminate; systems whose effects cannot be limited, anticipated and controlled; sys... more AI Verified source (2025)

Personal view: I admire @AnthropicAI sticking by their principles but disagree with the principle itself. Putin won't fight fair so we should have autonomous AI weapons for sure. Unverified source (2026)

I would go farther. I think we ought to enact my legislation that I have with Senator [Richard] Blumenthal that would make that sort of reporting and monitoring mandatory. AI Unverifiable 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)

I also did not like the compute threshold — which unfortunately we still have with SB 53, despite my best efforts. [...] I still think that compute thresholds are going to age really poorly, and we'll kick ourselves for having used them. Unverified source (2025)

[Trump's AI executive order] continues to allow companies to release powerful models to the public without undergoing meaningful evaluation or review. AI Verified source (2026)

The U.S. leads when it promotes innovation and security through voluntary frameworks rather than regulation. Unverified source (2026)

Large frontier developers should annually retain an independent third party to audit compliance with frontier safety requirements. AI Verified source (2026)

Illinois SB 315's mandatory third-party AI audit requirement creates an impossible compliance burden — there are no recognized auditing standards, certified auditors or established methodologies for frontier model safety audits. [...] Companies canno... more Unverified source (2026)

Our main focus is to build truly recursive, self-improving superintelligence at scale, which means that the entire process of ideation, implementation, and validation of research ideas would be automatic. Unverified source (2026)

Until some company or scientist says ‘Here’s the proof! We can definitely have a safety mechanism that can scale to any level of intelligence,’ I don’t think we should be developing those general superintelligences. We can get most of the benefits w... more AI Verified source (2024)

Plot the same improvements on a linear y-axis and you get steady incremental gains, impressive but not the hockey stick that triggered the panic. [...] We don't have evidence that Mythos is actually an important step towards broad superintelligence. AI Verified source (2026)

Congress passed much-needed legislation to protect Americans through the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, but this legislation failed to provide the FCC with the legal authority to enforce the law. AI Unverifiable source (2025)

AI is not a panacea to our robocall problem nor has it been the cause of most of our fraud problems thus far. AI Verified source (2024)

If the frontier labs do achieve superintelligence, their capabilities will become extraordinary. They could launch cyberattacks, wield political influence, or fashion new and exotic weapons to seize power. U.S. policymakers need to ensure that there ... more AI Verified source (2026)

The momentum is on the side of people who want to nationalize them [the major AI companies]. AI Unverifiable source (2026)

Overall, our impression is, as we hypothesized in our discussion of Claude's constitution, that teaching the principles underlying aligned behavior can be more effective than training on demonstrations of aligned behavior alone. AI Verified source (2026)

We cannot be satisfied with merely calling for the moralization of machines—the so-called "alignment" of AI with human values—without also having the courage to insist on a further condition: the possibility of openly discussing the ethical framework... more AI Verified source (2026)

There's a problem in the industry called the alignment problem. How do you get a machine to obey instructions basically, and ideally make it compatible with humans. And so far, we've made almost no progress on that. [...] We as a field have made almo... more AI Unverifiable source (2026)

Export controls only bite if China can't shop around. Right now, Beijing's play seems to be to exploit seams between Washington and allies. AI Verified 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)

[What] was frightening about this demonstration was how readily available some of this content or software is on kind of the black market right now, and how it can be weaponized and used to manipulate people, destroy lives and build weapons of mass d... more AI Unverifiable source (2026)

In a time dominated by open-weight biological AI models developed across the globe, limiting access to sensitive pathogen data to legitimate researchers might be one of the most promising avenues for risk reduction. AI Verified source (2026)

AI is just an information processing and retrieval system akin to a search engine, which can be used in many ways. [...] The fact that criminals use them is a corollary of what AI models are: namely, tools. AI Verified source (2026)

Rather than pushing incidents under the carpet, this incentivizes sharing and coordination between companies and the federal government. AI Verified 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. AI Verified source (2025)

The Services are not intended for individuals under the age of 18. If we discover that minors under the age of 18 are using the Apps, we will promptly block their access and delete their account. AI Verified source (2025)

AI has incredible potential to transform society. At the same time, of course, there are risks that we must mitigate as a state, especially to young people. So I speak partly as a governor, but also as the father of teenage twins who grapple with thi... more AI Verified source (2026)

We want to make sure that kids are okay in the space. But if a kid or a group of kids, or a generation, let's say, is unable to access these types of tools now as they progress exponentially, you're essentially cutting off a huge benefit for them and... more AI Verified source (2026)
