I like building great products that change people's lives. That's the essence of what I like doing. I don't want anybody coming between me and the product and the person who uses it. Nothing. - Chet Kapoor
Having said that, for all technology waves until this one, I would have said, "Ahh, don't worry about governance and regulators and all that." But this one, because of what we talked about earlier—this being more human-like than anything else—I think I'm really glad that we are getting people involved. - Chet Kapoor
My request would be that the people who work on this should be people who understand the technology a little bit. . That is the one thing that I want. I want policymakers involved in this to take the time to understand the technology and the basics of it. They don't have to become programmers, but they should be well-versed - Chet Kapoor

No one likes heavy handed regulation.
But we all benefit when food handlers wash their hands before tossing our salad.
Nothing is not the right answer.
Thanks for taking the tough question that goes against bias Chet.
