“You know, this is the only commencement speech that I’m giving this year and so I’ve watched a few highlights of graduation speeches where this or that corporate leader will discuss artificial intelligence, AI, and be met with literal boos,” Vance said as he wrapped up his remarks.

“Now, you can’t boo me. I’m the vice president of the United States,” he added, drawing laughs.
