Why this matters: California sets the tone for tech policy in the US. When it splits over AI regulation, nothing gets decided, and that gap is where companies operate without clear rules. The people who end up exposed are not lawmakers or lobbyists. They are workers, consumers, and anyone whose data or decisions get touched by AI systems that no one agreed on how to govern.
