VP VANCE: "We also want to make sure that we're protecting people. We're protecting people's data. We're protecting people's privacy. I think with this Mythos release, one of the things that we're very focused on [is] whether some other bad actor could use Mythos to target various cybersecurity vulnerabilities. [...W]e're just trying to make sure that the American people are as safe as possible. We want to be pro-innovation. We recognize, I mean, artificial intelligence could be great. It could help us find cures to diseases that currently, you know, people are dying from or suffering from. It also does have some downsides. And we're trying to balance that safety against innovation. And we think that we've got the right balance here in the Trump administration, but it's something we're gonna have to keep on working on because that's just the nature of these technologies is, is they certainly change."
