Latest / THE DAILY BRIEF / Peter Doocy This sounds VERY scary
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Somebody who's been on Capitol Hill all week, Tennessee Senator
- 0:03Speaker 1: and Republican gubernatorial candidate, Marsha Blackburn. Senator Blackburn, thank you
- 0:07Speaker 1: for joining us on the Sunday briefing.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Absolutely. Good to join you. Thank you.
- 0:12Speaker 1: Thank you. So we just had Steve Harrigan in Beijing.
- 0:16Speaker 1: When President Trump meets with China's Xi later on this week,
- 0:19Speaker 1: they're going to talk about how to make sure AI
- 0:21Speaker 1: doesn't destroy humanity, kill us all. What should the president's
- 0:26Speaker 1: pitch be?
- 0:29Speaker 2: The president should let Xi know that we do not
- 0:33Speaker 2: trust what they're trying to do with AI. They would
- 0:36Speaker 2: like to develop a virtual you of each and every
- 0:40Speaker 2: one of us. And that is tracking all of our
- 0:43Speaker 2: activity online and building that out. What we have to
- 0:47Speaker 2: make certain is that we send that message. We are
- 0:51Speaker 2: not going to stand for that. We're going to protect
- 0:54Speaker 2: our children. We're going to protect our creators and intellectual
- 0:58Speaker 2: property holders. We are going to protect our communities. And certainly,
- 1:03Speaker 2: we are going to protect the way these large language
- 1:07Speaker 2: models are being trained. And Peter, you were just talking
- 1:11Speaker 2: about Gemini today. and Gemma from Google. We had a
- 1:15Speaker 2: hearing earlier this year, and Gemma was hallucinating, and they
- 1:19Speaker 2: had to take it down. And it just shows you,
- 1:22Speaker 2: if you put garbage in, you're going to get garbage out.
- 1:25Speaker 2: These training models have to be done appropriately. We have
- 1:29Speaker 2: to protect people. It's time for us to put some
- 1:32Speaker 2: protections in place. It is time for us to make
- 1:35Speaker 2: certain we win the AI race. President Trump And the
- 1:40Speaker 2: United States, we're the only people who can hold China
- 1:44Speaker 2: to account on this.
- 1:46Speaker 1: And a lot of people watching this right now agree.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Everybody's rooting for the U.S. to win the AI race
- 1:52Speaker 1: with China. But how do you keep everybody safe? A
- 1:55Speaker 1: lot of these frontier AI companies are relying on NVIDIA
- 1:58Speaker 1: chips to get ahead, stay ahead. The CEO of NVIDIA
- 2:02Speaker 1: is now saying the government should not be making any
- 2:05Speaker 1: new laws, doesn't need to make any new laws here.
- 2:07Speaker 1: Listen to this. The responsibility of the AI companies, ourselves,
- 2:14Speaker 1: to develop the technology safely and to properly test it.
- 2:18Speaker 1: If it's not ready, just hold it back.
- 2:21Speaker 2: You should go as fast as you can, but no
- 2:23Speaker 2: faster than that.
- 2:25Speaker 1: Would that be okay with you, Senator Blackburn, just leaving
- 2:28Speaker 1: the government out of it and letting the AI companies
- 2:31Speaker 1: police themselves?
- 2:34Speaker 2: One of the things we have learned about big tech
- 2:37Speaker 2: is they have proven that they cannot police themselves. And, Peter,
- 2:42Speaker 2: this goes back to 2011, when we had the first
- 2:45Speaker 2: online privacy law. And we brought that bill or the bill.
- 2:51Speaker 2: And we brought it to the floor for a vote
- 2:54Speaker 2: in 2015, and big tech killed it, because, when you're online,
- 2:59Speaker 2: you're the product. We do think protections need to be
- 3:02Speaker 2: put in place. Congress needs to act on this. But
- 3:05Speaker 2: we need those guardrails so that we free up technology
- 3:09Speaker 2: so they can go win this race. And we have
- 3:14Speaker 2: a strong president who understands this industry. It is important
- 3:19Speaker 2: that we protect our citizens, our precious children, and that
- 3:24Speaker 2: we protect our communities, and that we make certain that
- 3:28Speaker 2: these A.I. frontier models are not hallucinating and they're not
- 3:32Speaker 2: putting garbage in, because that is what you're going to
- 3:35Speaker 2: get out.
- 3:36Speaker 1: JOHN YANG A hallucinating model sounds very, very scary. That
- 3:40Speaker 1: is not good. And that's the first that I have
- 3:43Speaker 1: heard about a model with a mind of its own
- 3:46Speaker 1: in that way, in a hallucinating way, as opposed to
- 3:48Speaker 1: just coming up with stuff to try to outsmart the people.
- 3:51Speaker 1: For the U.S. to stay competitive, though, models hallucinating or not,
- 3:56Speaker 1: we need a lot of data centers. You're running for
- 3:58Speaker 1: governor of Tennessee. Tennessee has a lot of space to
- 4:01Speaker 1: build data centers. Tennessee is also adding a lot of
- 4:04Speaker 1: new residents and other kinds of businesses. So where do
- 4:05Speaker 1: you come down on data centers in Tennessee?
- 4:09Speaker 2: And this is something that you're going to see local
- 4:11Speaker 2: communities make this decision. as to whether or not they
- 4:15Speaker 2: want them. In Tennessee, we have got counties that do
- 4:17Speaker 2: want them. We have got counties that don't. They should
- 4:21Speaker 2: be properly placed. And the state has a responsibility to
- 4:25Speaker 2: make certain that communities are not going to see their
- 4:29Speaker 2: utility rates, power and water rates go up. There are
- 4:33Speaker 2: also other protections that should be put in place, just
- 4:37Speaker 2: like when factories were expanding 100 years ago. You've got
- 4:41Speaker 2: to make certain that a community wants it, that protections
- 4:45Speaker 2: are in place, and that the community is going to
- 4:48Speaker 2: be well-informed and that their power and utility rates are
- 4:52Speaker 2: not going.
- 4:52Speaker 1: To go up. Last thing before I let you go,
- 4:54Speaker 1: there are some new reports this week, very exciting, I
- 4:57Speaker 1: would imagine, for somebody who might be the next governor
- 4:59Speaker 1: of Tennessee, that Paramount wants to leave L.A. and move
- 5:04Speaker 1: to Nashville in the next two or three years. If
- 5:06Speaker 1: you're elected governor... Is there anything that you could do
- 5:09Speaker 1: to sweeten the deal to lure them to Tennessee?
- 5:14Speaker 2: Well, the good thing is we're hearing Paramount has not
- 5:17Speaker 2: come to the state at all. for any assistance. What
- 5:20Speaker 2: you see is Tennessee has a great talent infrastructure of
- 5:26Speaker 2: individuals that work in TV and film and music, whether
- 5:31Speaker 2: it's production or post-production. What you also see is that
- 5:35Speaker 2: we have no state income tax. That's a fight I
- 5:37Speaker 2: led years ago. And we also are a right-to-work state.
- 5:43Speaker 2: And you put all of that together, and people are
- 5:47Speaker 2: clamoring to get into our state. We're a great state, well-led, well-governed.
- 5:54Speaker 2: And this is the place that people want to be
- 5:56Speaker 2: every day. I am working with Tennesseans. We're going to
- 6:00Speaker 2: find a way to make the best state in the
- 6:02Speaker 2: country even better.
- 6:04Speaker 1: Everybody that I know who lives in Tennessee loves it.
- 6:06Speaker 1: Senator Blackburn, thank you.
- 6:08Speaker 2: Yes, indeed.
- 6:09Speaker 1: BE SURE TO LIKE AND
