AI Verified The quote broadly opposes regulating AI research and development: 'I don't think it does.' A mandate requiring big AI companies to devote 30% of compute to safety is a form of such regulation, so the quote clearly implies opposition to the full policy. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 17d ago

AI Verified The quote clearly opposes regulating AI research and development in general: 'I don't think it does.' A mandatory requirement to report large AI training runs to an authority is a form of regulating AI R&D, so the quote implies opposition to the full statement. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 17d ago
