And the thrust from the Trump administration meeting was almost deregulation, unleashing the power of this technology so it can grow. What would these rules of the road be as the US and China compete to lead? Exactly. There's really two different camps and two different sets of values that are being purported here. So for China, it's really more of a state sponsored, top-down, state controlled set of regulations and standards. For the US, the idea's that it would be more open, more focused on market systems, public-private partnerships, and it's really who's going to align with who. So China is working on aligning and partnering with developing countries. The US is setting its sights on the EU, with Japan, with its allies. And so it really remains to be seen how it's going to play out. But the Trump administration was making clear that they want to be the dominant force. It's very and important at a high level. But for people watching now, they're on their commutes and maybe using ChatGPT to answer some questions, why is this relevant and important to them. How does it make a difference, I guess, in our lives who is in charge? I think it's important for all of us to think about who is in charge and who's setting those standards. It's kind of like when the internet was born and how that played out. The perception is experts tell me, do you want China's values to be embedded in the systems that you're using every day, or to decide where you can use it and what you can use? Which could likely include censorship. Censorship or surveillance. The US is saying, no, we want Democratic values. We want more transparency. So that's what's at stake here as far as also economic systems, military systems. There's a lot that's going to happen, so we should all be concerned. Yeah, keep reading Sharon's work. This is a fascinating area that we all need to be literate in. Thanks for coming in. Great to see you.
