Are the right AI rules... zero rules? Not for Little Tech.
To ensure AI thrives in the long run—and that startups can compete at the frontier—we need smart regulation. Here’s what we believe at @a16z 🧵

First: regulate use, not development.
When AI is used to break laws or cause harm, the perpetrators should be held to account.
And where there are new risks, new rules should be narrow and evidence-based.

If AI markets boom for a couple of years, but then crash because users feel misled, harmed, or left behind, that’s a bad outcome for startups, for our investors, for our business, and most importantly for society.
Smart rules can help prevent that outcome.
