  • How did Megyn Kelly go from someone I actually admired in 2016,

  • the way she stood up to Donald Trump in that famous debate,

  • and also the way she brought down Roger Ailes as head of Fox News?

  • She was acting like a real journalist.

  • How did that person then become the Megyn Kelly of 10 years later, more MAGA than MAGA?

  • It's Tuesday, September 29th.

  • I'm Jane Koston, and this is What a Day.

  • President Donald Trump invited representatives from across the tech world for a big AI launch

  • at the White House today to talk about the future of artificial intelligence or superintelligence.

  • And what do you know?

  • They all came to a consensus on one thing.

  • The belief of everybody that you're meeting with today that no guardrails,

  • no regulation of AI, superintelligence, as you call it, is necessary.

  • Well, there's a belief that there should be tremendous self-regulation.

  • And we automatically have regulation with the Department of Justice, the FBI, all of that.

  • But the self-regulation is very important.

  • Self-regulation of AI.

  • What could go wrong?

  • Trump also announced America.gov, the administration's new government chatbot.

  • And good news!
