Smith also mentioned the need for a safety break in place to prevent the misuse of AI and the potential for job disruptions due to its power.

He suggested the use of metadata and a hash system to detect and prevent the manipulation of deepfakes and images.

Additionally, he supported the idea of a new government agency to regulate AI systems and an executive order for the government to only buy AI services from companies that implement AI safety protocols.
