California state Sen. Scott Wiener, proponents say they’re just getting started
California won’t soon require safety testing of cutting-edge artificial-intelligence models, but that doesn’t mean an end to the effort to prevent such technology from causing large-scale harms.
“This technology is very powerful, and it’s rapidly getting more powerful, which has great, huge potential benefit but also significant risk,” he said. “So let’s try to get ahead of those risks for a change.” But the legislation also faced intense opposition from powerful companies and figures in the AI industry and the broader tech sector, including ChatGPT developer OpenAI, AI investor and startup incubator Y Combinator, venture firm Andreessen Horowitz and Stanford AI researcher Fei-Fei Li. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and politicians such as House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi also spoke out against the bill.
The outcome of the debate has huge implications for San Francisco and the wider Bay Area. The City has become ground zero for AI development, with the two leading model developers in OpenAI and Anthropic. Silicon Valley-based Google and Meta also are players in the industry. Colson and Wiener are focused on the California legislature. Despite the governor’s rejection of SB 1047, Wiener said he found reason to hope that there could be a path forward there.
“That could give the public a false sense of security about controlling this fast-moving technology,” Newsom said in his veto message.
