Can innovation and safety truly coexist, or do we have to sacrifice one to advance the other?

The notion that regulation automatically stifles innovation is misleading. Effective laws can create a framework that not only protects people, but also allows AI to grow sustainably. For example, regulations can help ensure that AI systems are developed responsibly, with considerations for privacy, fairness and transparency. This can build public trust, which is essential for the widespread adoption of AI technologies.

But California’s killing of the AI Bill also raises a wider question on the increasing power and influence of tech companies, given they raised objections that subsequently led to its veto.
