Mr. Blumenthal is the best. Blumenthal stays on the topic and knows exactly where the real problems are. i wish Mr. Blumenthal had more time to speak with the witnesses testifying.

AI, Aliens and pandemics who would've thought three years ago that these would be the issues that would unite us.

Feels like Dario is wasting everyone's time with these answers and making it all about his company rather than what they're actually discussing.

When considering potential existential threats to humanity's future, two possibilities that often arise are unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and artificial intelligence (AI). On the surface, they have little in common - one involves visitations by extraterrestrial crafts, while the other relates to technologies we create ourselves. Yet both represent something unfamiliar and poorly understood, with potentially tremendous implications we can only partially predict. Those who see UFOs as the more significant threat point to the complete unknowns involved. If highly advanced alien civilisations were entering our skies, they would have technologies centuries ahead of ours. Their motivations and intentions are a mystery. There are concerns they could one day use their superior capabilities to threaten our planet in ways we'd be powerless to resist. And the fact that credible sightings continue to occur indicates this is not just hypothetical but an actual phenomenon needing attention. Some warn that UFOs could represent scouting missions for alien invasion or colonisation. While this may sound far-fetched, we simply do not have enough data to rule it out, given the capabilities that UFOs have reportedly displayed. Until we can learn more about who is operating these craft and why, the risk they pose is incalculable. On the other hand, some argue AI poses more considerable risks because it's being developed here on Earth. Revolutionary advances in machine learning create systems that can act autonomously in complex environments. While this technology offers many benefits, it raises legitimate worries about AI escaping human control. Potential risks range from purposefully malicious AI to AI whose programmed goals drift from those of its creators. And unlike UFOs, AI development is accelerating rapidly in both the public and private sectors. Unchecked, cutting-edge AI research could create artificial superintelligences whose motives and aims exceed human capabilities. And AI systems are likely to be developed and implemented faster than protocols and safeguards can be put in place globally. In the end, both unknowns deserve serious evaluation. But while UFOs remain shrouded in secrecy, AI research can be monitored and guided to reduce dangers. UFO encounters may be infrequent, but AI will undeniably transform our society. AI seems more immediately pressing for a threat we can predict and prepare for. Yet until we unravel the mysteries behind UFO sightings and capabilities, we cannot rule them out as a potentially more significant hazard. The wise path is thus to pursue an understanding of both phenomena while safeguarding humanity against any existential threats they may pose. Vigilance, caution, and willingness to adapt our frameworks and policies as we learn more are required. We ignore either AI or UFOs at our possible peril.

We want to make this VERY clear, and congress you better be listening: AI could be potentially extremely dangerous... more than anything in existence currently on Earth. In nature, but also in its ability to cause great disparities. With that being said, we expect that you will regulate AI so that no company is allowed to use it to replace workers or job roles, and no company can create weapons of destruction using AI. banning it will not be needed, but the regulations on the technology and companies that use it must be VERY STRICT in the previously regarded mentions. We are dead serious about this.

copying anyone's voice, or image should be illegal . . . you own your voice, you own your body. People using software to steal singers / actors / anyone's voice or image should be arrested and charged with felony fraud. Now technology can duplicate ANYONE - laws need to protect REAL People.

1:10:39 They dont know that Spotify shows songs based on your watch history liked songs and music taste. if she only listens to country music made by men she is indeed going to have a hard time especially when she doesn't know the name of female country singer as she could have just placed there name in the search bar.

I agree with regulating data but i also think people should be able to say hey i would like the ai to use my data remember this is a free country there are people afraid of ai and there are some that are not i don't think purely catering to the scared is the best action i think this technology will improve everybody's lives and i don't want people to forget that

Mr. Blumenthal wants to develop countermeasures to fight against UFOs. This guy must be from West Virginia, because that’s about as dumb of a comment as you can imagine.
