I took a Senate train ride with Hawley recently, and he told me he's worried about privacy issues.
最近，我与霍利同乘一趟参议院列车，他告诉我他很担心隐私问题。
I do think that we've got to give Americans some basic digital privacy rights, and we've got to stop the tracking and the buying and selling of private information without users' consent.

I mean, that's just critical. And now we have AI on top of that.
我是说，这至关重要。除此之外，我们现在还有人工智能问题。
It's a reminder Congress has not even been able to address these privacy issues related to social media.

Yeah, but Congress has - what word am I looking for? - oh, lackluster...

There are many. Congress is playing catch-up. For example, the European Union is years ahead in crafting AI law.
有很多挑战。国会正在奋起直追。比方说，欧盟在制定人工智能法律方面领先多年。
And then throw in a bitterly divided Congress, and that does not bode well.
而且，国会存在严重分歧，这可不是什么好兆头。
I talked to law professor Ifeoma Ajunwa at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill about this.
我采访了北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校的法学教授伊芙玛· 阿永瓦，我们就这一问题进行了交谈。
We have seen gridlocks in Congress, you know, passing so many laws that we would have thought were nonpartisan issues.
我们看到国会陷入僵局，通过了许多我们本以为是无党派问题的法律。
And we did see the Biden White House recently roll out some AI initiatives, while Congress has historically missed the regulatory windows on emerging tech, like the internet and social media.
尽管国会过去错过了对互联网和社交媒体等新兴科技的监管窗口，但我们确实看到拜登政府最近推出了一些人工智能法案。
And Ajunwa said another issue is there's a real lack of joint experience in both law and computer science on Capitol Hill for both members and staff.
阿永瓦表示，另一个问题是，国会议员与工作人员在法律和计算机科学方面确实缺乏共同的经验。
