W. Steube

During an appearance on Fox Business Network’s “The Evening Edit,” Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) pushed back against Democrats’ overtures to regulate artificial intelligence (AI), citing fears about the technology.

He likened it to the sense of fear generated during the Y2K scare decades earlier.

“[W]hat this reminds me a lot of is the year 2000,” he said. “Remember all the reports that the world was going to end because the computers were going to switch over to zero-zero-zero and we weren’t going to have power, and we weren’t going to have infrastructure, and the military was going to shut down. It reminds me a lot about that.”
