Our editorial lauds JD Vance’s speech in Paris on artificial intelligence. It was, indeed, a fine speech. But it was also jarringly different from what we’ve become accustomed to hearing from Vance. He sounded more like the kind of traditional conservative Republican that Vance and his boosters usually deride as old-thinking zombie Reaganites.
Vance talked up the dangers of excessive regulation. He pointed to the hazards of too much government involvement in shaping where technology would lead us. He argued that more automation would actually create more jobs and opportunity. He enthused about economic growth. This is all good.
