| 0:26.2 | writing at Civitas Institute Civitas Outlook, about his testimony before Congress |
| 0:30.9 | and what were members of Congress most concerned with about the Internet. |
| 0:35.5 | It has to do with regulation. There will be state regulation, and the concern is, will it project nationally? |
| 0:41.9 | There will be federal regulation, and it concerns the federal government that the states |
| 0:47.8 | not be at odds. |
| 0:50.3 | It's also about growth. |
| 0:53.8 | Kevin Fraser, Civitas Outlook for Civis Institute, early days of regulatory capture and the |
| 1:02.1 | artificial intelligence boom. |
| 1:04.8 | More of this tonight. |
| 1:07.0 | I think they get the sense that this is very real. |
| 1:09.4 | This is not going by way of the tulip. This will be with us for a long time. And so they take seriously the gravity of getting this right. The area of disagreement now is how to make sure that states have an opportunity to regulate in the interests of their citizens, while also making sure that states don't go beyond their bounds |
| 1:28.3 | by perhaps projecting their own policy into other states. |
| 1:31.9 | And in an even more worst case scenario, having state-based policy interfere with what I regard |
| 1:37.6 | and what many regard as a national priority, which is the question of AI innovation. |
| 1:42.8 | How do we make sure we're pushing the frontier |
| 1:45.2 | and leading the world in AI development? |
| 1:48.1 | Yes. |
