AI Protests in San Francisco Highlight Public Concerns as Companies Discuss Standards, Trump Dismisses Risks

Protesters gathered in San Francisco against the rapid development of AI, citing concerns about job displacement, high power and water usage for data centers, and existential risks. This comes amid discussions among AI companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google about forming a private standards body, and contrasting views from political figures including President Trump, who dismissed AI risks as a 'hoax.' New York's Governor Kathy Hochul also signed an executive order freezing state permits for new AI data centers over 50MW.
