In Washington, the big news over the weekend, Trump’s super intelligence force. Remember, it’s not AI anymore. It’s SI.
00:07 Speaker B
Mmm.
00:08 Speaker A
That force is now going to be led by the director of National Intelligence, Jay Clayton, Pentagon undersecretary Andrew Ferguson, uh Chief Technology officer, Emil Michael, and the director of OPM, Scott Cooper.
00:18 Speaker A
They’ve got a report due in 120 days.
00:21 Speaker A
They have a report due to President Trump and um chief of staff Susie Wiles too. And the goal is US leadership, pushing this forward, not overregulating this.
00:31 Speaker A
Now, here’s where we get local on the regulation. We have some real interesting news in New York City today. The New York City Council will be doing hearing today where Jacob Coxen, the ex-Anthroppic researcher who came out and made that really bold prediction
00:46 Speaker A
on Twitter that kind of set off this whole fear cycle of, look, 10% shot that it wipes us all out in 10 years. He will be testifying in front of the City Council today
00:52 Speaker B
Mhm.
00:55 Speaker A
along with a few other, um, you know, we’re really we’re calling them whistleblowers. Um,
01:00 Speaker A
Alex Turner from Deep Mind, uh Daniel Kokotajlo from uh Open AI will be testifying.
01:07 Speaker A
The companies themselves also are sending representatives to put their side forward. Anthropic, Open AI, Meta, and Google will all be sending representatives.
01:13 Speaker B
Mhm.
01:16 Speaker A
Notably, SpaceX is not, and they’ve now been subpoenaed.
01:20 Speaker B
But like what is the what is New York City going to do?
01:22 Speaker A
So this is this is what they’re debating today. And it’s a kind of a sweep of proposals. There are three I’ve picked out that I think are worth noting.
01:30 Speaker A
The first of those is to require third-party validation of new models and a human-operated shutdown mechanism for any AI marketed, offered, sold, or deployed in New York City.
01:43 Speaker A
Basically, not only can we verify you, but you’ve got to prove to us that if we want you to, you can hit the off switch.
