00:00Michael. I actually have a question for Mr. Lue this week.
00:04This is my favorite question.
00:06The House Energy and Commerce Republicans put a provision in their bill.
00:13It's a 10-year moratorium on artificial intelligence.
00:18Most artificial intelligence models at the state and local level over the next 10 years,
00:22they pass the communications title, so it looks like it's going to be in the final bill.
00:26Given your role on the artificial intelligence task force last Congress
00:32and the interest that you have in this industry, what's your reaction to that particular provision?
00:39Do you think that it's helpful to prevent states and localities from regulating this industry?
00:46And what does it say that Congress hasn't really taken any meaningful steps
00:49to regulate artificial intelligence over these last few years?
00:54So thank you for your question.
00:55First of all, this has nothing to do with the budget, so I don't see how this survives the Senate
01:01where I think the parliamentarian will rule it out of order.
01:04Just on their policy itself, I don't mind if we have federal preemption.
01:10We do have federal preemption in a number of areas in the law, but we can't preempt with nothing.
01:15There is no federal law or idea that we're preempting the states on,
01:21so it doesn't make much sense to me to basically preempt with nothing.
01:25I think we're going to preempt.
01:26We should say we want to do X, Y, or Z at the federal level,
01:29and that's why you states cannot regulate in this area.
01:32I also know that 10 years is an awfully long time.
01:35If what Congress wants to say is, look, give us a year to figure this out,
01:40that might make more sense, but there's no reason to have a 10-year preemption with nothing in this place.
