The key challenge now is not only building capable and well-aligned models, but ensuring that complex and possibly agentic AI systems are governed, monitored and accountable in real-world enterprise environments over time. 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)

I'm skeptical that Universal Basic Income can get rid of grinding poverty, since somehow humanity's 100-fold productivity increase (since the days of agriculture) didn't eliminate poverty. Verified source (2017)

Although I do not at all like the idea of universal basic income because I don't think it solves many problems, and I think it creates others, I do like the idea of what some people call universal basic wealth where people are granted the endowment o... more Unverified source (2026)

Embracing the amazing possibilities of AI can't come at the cost of leaving Americans vulnerable to its profound risks, which is exactly what President Trump and Republicans are trying to do. Preventing states from enacting common-sense regulation th... more Verified source (2026)

No single concentration of intelligence, human or artificial, should regulate itself. Power must check power, and in a world of artificial agents, this means building conflict and oversight into the institutional architecture. [...] Humans remain in ... more Unverified source (2026)

A "human in the loop" whose sole function is to approve a machine's actions is not a safeguard but a design failure. [...] In high-stakes environments, the illusion of human oversight is worse than no oversight at all. It creates confidence without c... more Unverified source (2026)

These deepfakes are dangerous and wrong. We need protections not just for politics, but for all Americans that could be targeted. Unverified source (2026)

Without provisions that allow for fair use and free expression online, this legislation would dramatically change the internet. Unverified source (2024)

I think that the types of damage that we can do to the rigor and credibility of elections and democratic systems – and the ability to misinform people about candidates or social issues – very much risks being supercharged. It's harmful for politician... more Unverified source (2026)

It is evident that the world must act urgently to alter the self-destructive path we are on. An escalating arms race in disruptive technologies like unregulated AI, autonomous weapons, nuclear arms and other dangerous weapons is driving this path. No... 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)

Today, I finally feel the existential threat that AI is posing. When AI becomes overly good and disrupts everything, what will be left for humans to do? And it's when, not if. Unverified source (2026)

Artificial intelligence will create more jobs than it cuts. Every technology has always created new jobs. We've added 1.2 million recently. 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)
