MONTEREY PARK, Calif. — Former Anthropic employee Jacob Coxon shook the social media world after he posted on X that he resigned from his position.

Coxon wrote that he was concerned about safety regulations with the company and with artificial intelligence as a whole.

With California being home to several tech companies, some locals have taken a stand against the rise of the technology without regulation.

Randy Kay lives in the San Gabriel Valley and joined organizers to speak out against a proposed AI data center in Monterey Park. She spoke with Spectrum News about her concerns and what she would like to see happen with local, state and federal governments.

Chris Mattmann is an AI expert who says while times are scary when it comes to AI, there is some good that comes with it.
