(Read time: five minutes) - Fun fact: I never change this.

I’m torn. On one hand, I believe in innovation and taking risks above all else. On the other hand, AI has the power to really destroy us all. This is what’s going on in my state, California, right now:

The debate over California’s AI safety bill, SB 1047, is intensifying. OpenAI’s Chief Strategy Officer, Jason Kwon, warns that state-level regulations could stifle innovation and drive companies away, arguing that AI policy should be federally governed to avoid a fragmented approach. However, State Senator Scott Wiener, who introduced the bill, contends that it merely enforces safety standards that AI labs have already committed to, including pre-deployment testing for catastrophic risks.

This clash between innovation and regulation is pivotal for the AI industry. As someone who’s scaled companies in California, I recognize the need for progress and caution. Balancing innovation with safety is crucial to ensure AI benefits everyone in the long run.
