California’s governor has the chance to make AI history

Summary
Nutrition label

77% Informative

California 's governor has the chance to make AI history.

Bill would hold AI companies liable for catastrophic harms their “frontier” models may cause.

It would offer whistleblower protections to tech workers, and process for people who have confidential information about risky behavior at an AI lab to take their complaint to the state Attorney General without fear of prosecution.

California 's SB 1047 is premised on the idea that near-future AI systems might be extraordinarily powerful and might be dangerous.

That core proposition is extraordinarily controversial among AI researchers.

Bill is the center of a symbolic tug-of-war: Does government take AI safety concerns seriously, or not?.

40 percent of California voters say they would be less likely to vote for Newsom in a future presidential primary election if he vetoes the bill.

40 percent say they’d punish him at the ballot box if he runs for higher office.

The bill would force Newsom to veto.
