Matt Laslo: "I'm just curious, who wrote that bill because people were curious about the language that was used."

Mike Rounds: "It was a joint effort. Why did it look kind of like somebody had tried to create a cow and came up with a horse or something?"

ML: "I'm trying to look it up, the term they used, but it was used like 22 times and-"

MR: "There was direct participation between the organizations that currently have to cooperate in this, but we tried to bring a number of different entities in for a discussion so that it wasn't a surprise to anybody."

ML: "I think it might be the term non-human intelligence, I think that might be used 22 times."

ML: "Well, pretty simple terms, aren't they?"


ML: "But could that be AI?"

MR: "Could be."


ML: "Non-human?"

MR: "It could be."


ML: "Really?"

MR: "Yeah."


ML: "So it's that broad."


MR: "Well, could be. It was not by accident, let's put it that way."
