The California State Assembly has passed the Safe and Secure Innovation for Frontier Artificial Intelligence Models Act (SB 1047 ) The bill is one of the first significant regulations of artificial intelligence in the US .

It would require companies operating in California to implement a number of precautions before they train a sophisticated foundation model.
