On July 25, 2024, Y Combinator hosted AI, Startups, and Competition: Shaping California’s Future in our San Francisco headquarters. This gathering brought together key figures from government, industry, and civil society to discuss the future of AI regulation and competition.

The event featured remarks from Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan and Assistant Attorney General Jonathan Kanter, alongside a panel on civil society perspectives. California State Senator Scott Wiener engaged in a fireside chat about his proposed AI legislation, SB 1047. The event closed with extemporaneous remarks by audience member and AI pioneer Andrew Ng.

Over 175 individuals attended the event. The audience was primarily founders of AI startups based in San Francisco who have participated in Y Combinator’s highly selective accelerator program.
