I would ... have the current companies define reasonable boundaries. The industry will first do that... There’s no-one in the government ... get it right.

Verification History

AI Verified Verified. The cited Future of Being Human page (published May 15, 2023) includes a transcript attributing to Eric Schmidt the fuller lines: “I would much rather have the current companies define reasonable boundaries” and “There’s no-one in the government who can get it right. But the industry can roughly get it right.” Other contemporaneous coverage of the same NBC/Meet the Press clip repeats the same wording, so the ellipsized quote is authentic and correctly attributed to Schmidt in 2023.
