Californication of AI? Golden State is #1 in AI, and the birthplace of modern tech, so yeah — be quiet, Ted Cruz
What you need to know: Ignore the noise from Republicans: California is the birthplace of tech and the industry continues to thrive in California, and California leaders know how to balance its growth while protecting public safety.
SAN FRANCISCO - Today, instead of fixing the issues actually impacting American families, Republicans are holding a ridiculous hearing focusing on the "Californication" of AI. Californication of AI? If we're talking about breeding talent and innovation, we say bring it on.
California is the fourth-largest economy in the world, the birthplace of tech, and the top pipeline for tech talent.
"Members of Congress have proven themselves to be impotent in effective leadership, and are not equipped to advance our interests in tech. They should probably sit this one out."
Governor Gavin Newsom
