    I don’t think it’s about number of people I think it’s about perceived sense of urgency on the part of various governments. A lot of people aren’t very happy with AI but the threats are all existential at the moment. The moment something happens all the people who are already not happy with AI will suddenly have a threat to point to and then the governments around the world will have no choice but to act.

    Although I suspect the Trump administration will still try and weedle out of regulating anything because they have so much business interest in the industry.

      I think you mean hypothetical. Possibly hypothetically existential.

      The moment something happens all the people who are already not happy with AI will suddenly have a threat to point to

      and hopefully, that something won’t be an existential threat.
