Gerstner argues AI policy and energy policy must be integrated at national level.
“you cannot have a strategic AI policy at a national level without a strategic energy policy at a at a national level. They're really tight at the hip.”
Gerstner compares Biden's AI diffusion rule to hypothetically blocking Google exports in 2000.
“Can you imagine if in the year 2,000, Washington DC had said, oh my god, Google is so powerful that we're not gonna allow any other country in the world to have access to this Google machine that might give them answers to questions unless Google comes to Washington and gets federal approval”
Gerstner contrasts Google's unrestricted global expansion with current AI restrictions, wants same for AI companies.
“They just went and competed around the world, and now the world runs on the democratic principles that are embedded within Google. I wanna see the same thing happen in the age of AI.”
Gerstner warns that requiring AI companies to get Washington approval for foreign launches would prevent American technology dominance.
“Imagine in 2001, 2002, if we had said to Google, You can't launch in any other country unless you come to Washington and beg for a license to launch in any other country.”
Gerstner proposes direct AI company profit sharing with citizens through Invest America accounts, bypassing government intermediaries.
“If we wanna have a profit sharing between AI companies and citizens, we have a mechanism to do that directly without having to have an intermediary in the government.”
Gerstner advocates for voluntary 1% equity contributions from AI founders like Altman or Dario, citing Benioff model.
“The Trump administration has not done this. I hope they don't go down this path. I don't think they're going to go down this path.”
