Gavin Newsom Blocks Contentious Ai Safety Bill In California

California Governor Gavin Newsom has vetoed what would have become one of the most comprehensive policies governing the safety of artificial intelligence in the U.S. The bill would’ve been among the first to hold AI developers accountable for any severe harm caused by their technologies. It drew fierce criticism from some prominent Democrats and major tech firms, including ChatGPT creator OpenAI and venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, who warned it could stall innovation in the state. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Newsom described the legislation as “well-intentioned” but said in a statement that it would’ve applied “stringent standards to even the most basic functions.” Regulation should be based on “empirical evidence and science,” he said, pointing to his own executive order on AI and other bills he’s signed that regulate the technology around known risks such as deepfakes. The debate around California’s SB 1047 bill highlights the challenge that lawmakers around the world are facing in controlling the risks of AI while also supporting the emerging technology.
