"I think even the most gung-ho proponent of AI would acknowledge that ultimately if you put garbage in, you get garbage out," the governor said, addressing the roundtable and onlookers.
"And so human nature being what it is, you have a handful of companies jockeying for control of all the data in the world. They are going to use that to pursue an agenda. If they didn't, it would be the first time in all of human history."
The governor was doubtful AI would replace movies or actors as people continue to want human emotion.
