San Francisco Emerges as AI Startup Hub Despite Concerns Over Rapid Growth

San Francisco has become the epicenter of AI startups and investment, with companies raising billions and expanding their office presence.

AI is bringing new energy and excitement to San Francisco's tech community, attracting talent and spurring events and conferences.

AI startups like OpenAI and Anthropic are leasing large amounts of office space as other tech firms downsize.

The mayor has called San Francisco the "AI capital of the world," hoping it can aid the city's economic recovery.

While promising, AI's potential harms like bias and job loss worry some in the community.
