The fearmongering by the tech industry in response to a California bill that aims to make AI development safer is nothing new.

Critics, particularly from Silicon Valley, argue that any regulation will drive innovation out of California. This argument is not just misleading — it’s dangerous. The bill only applies to companies spending hundreds of millions on the most advanced AI models. For most startups and researchers, it’s business as usual. They will feel no impact from this bill.

The public overwhelmingly supports policies like SB 1047 — it is just the loud voices of Big Tech attempting to drown out the opinions of most Californians.. I reject that completely. I’m a digital native that sees AI’s immense potential to solve global challenges. I am deeply optimistic about the future of technology. But I also understand the need for guardrails.
