George Clooney Mocks Lawmakers Over AI Regulation — ‘These Are Not the People You Want to Entrust the Hol
Actor George Clooney publicly mocked U.S. lawmakers over their capacity to regulate artificial intelligence, suggesting they are not the right people to oversee the technology.
Why this matters: Clooney is not wrong that Congress has struggled with tech regulation, but celebrity skepticism can cut both ways. Laughing at lawmakers is easy. The harder question is who should be setting AI rules if not elected officials. Regulators have real problems, but the answer is better-informed governance, not less of it. When powerful technology goes wrong, someone needs to be accountable. Right now, that accountability is already thin.
