California's most controversial AI safety bill of 2024 may be dead, but its author has not retreated. State Sen. Scott Winner is back with SB 53, the new AI bill that takes away the most controversial portion of last year's failed legislation, while maintaining a major whistleblower protection and a public cloud computing initiative called CalCompute.

Today, TechCrunch's equity podcast is hosted by Kirsten Korosec, Max Zeff and Anthony HA, unpacking the latest AI regulation moves alongside Tech and Startups' top stories of the week.
