And this fight isn't just happening in Washington, D.C. states across the country are stepping up. They're passing laws, holding hearings, fighting to protect their workers in the age of AI. And it is why Last year I was proud to help lead an amendment in the senate which passed 99 to 1 to strike down a provision which would have imposed a 10 year moratorium on state AI regulations being put in place to protect workers at the state level. And we won. And we're going to have to continue to fight insistently, persistently, consistently, because workers need federal and state protections. The people in this room understand that better than anyone. (06:12–06:21)
