• Some in Silicon Valley have long argued that AI needs rules.
• A new bill in California that introduces such rules is splitting opinion, however.
• The SB 1047 AI safety bill has won support from Elon Musk, but faces opposition from Sam Altman.

Silicon Valley seems to agree that artificial intelligence is the future. An imminent bill that could dictate AI development, however, is revealing deep schisms among tech leaders over the way the technology should be rolled out to the world.
