Dem Rep. Garcia: AI Is a Threat to Actual Humanity

EXCERPT:

GARCIA: “Look, there have been a lot of conversations in the Congress about AI, but none as serious, I think, as the moment requires. And so oversight will absolutely be involved quickly and immediately in ensuring that we are part of this debate. There has to be public hearings, whether they’re in oversight, whether they’re in a special select subcommittee. But I think it’s going to have to be a top priority of the Congress. And it’s going to also have to be bipartisan. We’re talking about a real threat.”
BOLDUAN: “Yeah.”
GARCIA: “And the threat is not just to jobs, which we know is currently the case. It’s a — it’s a real — it’s a threat to — to actual humanity, which I actually believe these these people believe. And these are the smartest people on the planet that are working in these companies.”
