TBD | Who’s Going to Regulate AI?

This podcast episode examines the contentious landscape of California's AI regulation, particularly focusing on SB 1047 and the reactions from major tech companies. While significant opposition arises from giants like Microsoft and Google, ongoing discussions with companies such as Anthropic reflect a willingness to negotiate. The disparities within Silicon Valley regarding the approach to regulation reveal a complex debate, with calls for a focus on AI outputs rather than the technology itself. The political dynamics surrounding the bill underscore California's attempts to learn from past technological regulation failures, with implications for national policy. As the deadline for legislative action looms, the future of SB 1047 underscores California's influential role in shaping AI oversight.
