Geoff Ralston on His Path from Silicon Valley to AI Safety | The Curve 2025

In conversation with Maxwell Zeff (TechCrunch, Senior AI Reporter), Geoff Ralston (Founder of Safe AI Fund; Former President of Y Combinator) reflects on OpenAI's early days, and explains why he left the heart of Silicon Valley to fund AI safety startups. Ralston discusses why "safety" became a dirty word in tech, how Y Combinator's opposition to SB 1047 reflects a broader anti-regulation stance he finds wrongheaded, and why he wakes up in the middle of the night worrying about fast takeoff scenarios while hoping we're still in a window to build guardrails before superintelligence arrives. Now in its second year, The Curve is a conference that brings together a diverse set of experts and decision-makers for constructive conversations about the big, contentious questions in the future of AI. From October 3-5, 2025, participants gathered in Berkeley, California to share knowledge and engage in healthy debate about topics like timelines, risk, economic impacts, national security, and democracy.
