Gary Marcus delivered these remarks to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology and the Law on May 16. I am profoundly grateful to be here.

There are benefits; we don't yet know whether they will outweigh the risks. Fundamentally, these new systems are going to be destabilizing.
