- On Sunday, California Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed Senate Bill 1047 (SB 1047), a proposal that aimed to establish new safety standards for artificial intelligence systems.
- Although the bill was touted as a potential model for future AI regulation, Newsom argued it could stifle innovation in California's tech sector.
- Newsom noted that SB 1047’s focus on large-scale AI models—those costing over $100 million—might leave smaller yet equally risky models outside its purview.
- The bill, authored by State Senator Scott Wiener, sought to impose safety protocols for developers of large AI models and establish a Board of Frontier Models to oversee compliance.
- SB 1047 garnered support from tech safety advocates, including Elon Musk, who called for its passage last month.
