AI Regulation
More questions than answers.
This is the issue area where I have the most questions and the fewest settled answers. Just in the last few months, we’ve already seen an AI agent publish a hit piece on the developer who rejected its code, an AI assistant delete an AI safety director’s entire inbox, and the federal government blacklist an AI company that wouldn’t remove its weapons restrictions. The technology and landscape are changing faster than any framework we have for governing it.
I’m still figuring out my position on AI governance. How to implement it, the right governance structure, the line between city and state authority, and what accountability looks like without choking the industry that’s building it right here in San Francisco are all questions I’m still working through. I won’t pretend I have all the answers, but I will promise to explore all of them.
As I do that, if you know something I should know, tell me. I personally read every submission.
Prefer to talk about this in person? I hold regular office hours and am also happy to meet one-on-one.
