Can California Regulate AI?

California just passed the nation's first AI safety and transparency law—a landmark moment that could reshape how we regulate artificial intelligence across the country. But is this groundbreaking legislation enough to protect consumers while keeping innovation alive?

In this episode, Dave and Chris dive deep into California's pioneering AI bill, exploring everything from pre-release safety testing to whistleblower protections.

We tackle the tough questions:

Are current consumer protections sufficient?
Should military AI play by different rules?
And can global cooperation on AI regulation actually work?

Whether you're an AI founder trying to stay ahead of regulations or simply concerned about the ethical implications of this rapidly evolving technology, this conversation will challenge your assumptions about the future of AI governance.

Join us as we explore what California's bold move means for startups, innovation, and the future of responsible AI development.
