I don't think this bill is a good idea. It's like, why do we need to worry about artificial intelligence threats when there are so many other important issues to focus on? I mean, I get that it's important to be prepared for emergencies and stuff, but this just seems like a waste of time and money. Plus, who knows how this could impact me and my family in the long run. I just don't see the point of it all.
