Should AI do everything? OpenAI thinks so

The rule of Silicon Valley? It’s not cool to be cautious. As OpenAI removes guardrails and VCs criticize companies like Anthropic for supporting AI safety regulations, it is becoming increasingly clear who the industry believes should shape AI development.

In this episode of Equity, Kirsten Korosec, Anthony Ha, and Max Zeff discuss how the line between innovation and responsibility is becoming increasingly blurred, and what happens when jokes go from digital to physical.

Watch the full episode to learn more about:

• Why advocating for AI safety has become ‘uncool’ in Silicon Valley, from anthropic responses to California’s SB 243 regulation of AI companion chatbots and the success of companies like Character.AI

• Which startups are using an SEC solution to file for IPOs during the shutdown
