Eric Schmidt's Controversial AI Advice at Stanford Sparks Debate

The ex-Google CEO suggested students use AI to replicate TikTok and handle legal issues later, drawing criticism and prompting video removal.

  • Schmidt encouraged students to use AI to create a TikTok clone if the app is banned in the U.S.
  • He advised dealing with potential legal issues only if the product becomes successful.
  • The remarks align with Silicon Valley's 'move fast and break things' mentality.
  • Schmidt later attempted to clarify his comments, stating he did not advocate illegal actions.
  • The video of Schmidt's talk was taken down after media coverage of his statements.
