  SPEAKER_00: Interestingly, while tech leaders gather at the White House to sign non-binding pledges regarding artificial intelligence safety, like a handshake deal from 30,000 feet, Schiff highlights a stark disconnect.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_00: These leaders, publicly advocating for regulation, seem to be under pressure to appease a president who isn't exactly flying high on a full understanding of these complex issues.

  SPEAKER_00: The conversation shifts to the regulatory framework needed for artificial intelligence, where Schiff insists that comprehensive regulation is crucial.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_00: Think of it as the pre-flight checklist we absolutely need to avoid disasters.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_00: He emphasizes the importance of understanding the sources of data used for training artificial intelligence models, ensuring companies are transparent about their practices.

  SPEAKER_00: The current scramble to gather data without regard for existing intellectual property laws poses a serious risk to content creators and the broader tech ecosystem.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: Trust me folks, flying blind without a flight plan is a recipe for disaster.
