The people building this technology admit they can’t fully control it, that it could cause catastrophic harm, and that it needs real oversight. That’s why today’s announcement is so important. Rather than providing that oversight, President Trump just approved an agreement to let these companies police themselves. But we already know how much damage Big Tech billionaires can inflict when they choose profits over safety. They can’t be trusted to regulate themselves, and while some leaders in Washington are working hard to address these risks, others are standing in the way. If national leaders won’t act decisively, New Mexico will show them the way.
