California's Senate Bill 1047 to Regulate AI Industry Sparks Debate

Brief news summary

California, a global leader in artificial intelligence (AI), is considering Senate Bill 1047 to regulate the technology. Supporters, like Simon Last, co-founder of an AI company, argue that the bill strikes a balance between protecting public safety and supporting innovation. It would require companies building high-cost AI models to conduct safety testing and mitigate risks before release. Critics, such as Paul Lekas, a head of public policy, believe the bill sets near-impossible standards that would hinder innovation and drive businesses out of the state. They suggest that oversight should be handled at the federal level to ensure uniformity.
