As AI technology continues to evolve, robust regulation is crucial to ensure it is developed and deployed ethically and responsibly. With great power comes great responsibility, and we must implement clear guidelines to protect and empower all stakeholders.

I believe that trust in AI systems is paramount. Mandating third-party audits can help ensure transparency, provide accountability, and bolster public confidence in these powerful technologies.

Exempting small companies from burdensome AI regulations would indeed foster innovation. Startups need the flexibility to experiment and grow without the heavy weight of compliance slowing them down. However, certain fundamental ethical guidelines must be maintained to ensure the responsible use of AI.
