Date: January 1, 2025Source: TechCrunchIn 2024, the debate over AI safety and regulation intensified as concerns about catastrophic AI risks clashed with the tech industry's optimistic vision. Despite warnings from figures like Elon Musk, the tech industry, led by voices like Marc Andreessen, advocated for rapid AI development with minimal regulation. This perspective gained traction as AI models demonstrated both their potential and limitations, leading to increased investment and a shift in regulatory focus. The year also saw significant political developments, including President Biden's AI executive order being challenged by President-elect Donald Trump, and the veto of California's AI safety bill SB 1047 by Governor Gavin Newsom. Looking ahead to 2025, the AI safety movement remains active, with plans to reintroduce modified legislation addressing long-term AI risks, but faces opposition from influential tech figures and venture capitalists.Link: https://bestofai.com/article/silicon-valley-stifled-the-ai-doom-movement-in-2024-techcrunchExclusive: OpenAI failed to deliver the opt-out tool it promised by 2025
