Bill requiring makers of large AI systems to test them for potential harm cleared the California Legislature today .

It could still face a veto by Gov. Gavin Newsom .

Bill requires companies that make or modify powerful forms of artificial intelligence to test for their ability to enable critical harm to society.

Opponents say costs to comply with the bill will hurt the industry, particularly startups.

Other AI policy bills up for a vote this week include a bill to empower the Civil Rights Department to combat automated discrimination, require creatives get permission before using the likeness of a dead person’s voice, body, or face in any capacity, and additional measures to keep voters safe from deceptive deepfakes. In accordance with a generative AI executive order, the California Government Operations Agency is expected to release a report on how AI can harm vulnerable communities in the coming weeks ..
