Gov Hochul: Let states regulate AI

Gov Kathy Hochul (D-NY) said that lawmakers who claim not to have read parts of the GOP spending bill should use ChatGPT to ask: "Anything I should worry about in here?" Gov Hochul spoke about the economic, political, and social consequences of AI—from training workforces to children's safety. Five key takeaways:

1. Gov Hochul took a dig at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for saying she didn't know the GOP tax bill that passed the House in May included a provision that would ban states and municipalities from regulating the technology for 10 years. 
2. She called out the GOP spending bill for that provision, calling it a "concerning" move by House Republicans.
3. AI doesn't have to replace jobs.
4.  "I'm New York state's first mom governor, and I look out for all the kids," she said regarding online safety.
5. New York is challenging the White House, including on saving offshore wind, congestion pricing, and challenges to birthright citizenship.
