California's SB 1047 bill is designed to regulate the development and deployment of artificial intelligence within the state. Proposed by Senator Scott Wiener, the legislation mandates safety testing for advanced AI models, requires a kill switch for malfunctioning systems, and enforces third-party audits. This initiative has ignited significant opposition from tech giants and some lawmakers who fear it may hinder innovation and drive developers out of California.
The bill has already passed the state Senate and is now awaiting a full Assembly vote. While notable figures like Geoffrey Hinton support the regulation, others, including Nancy Pelosi, express concerns that it could deter technological advancement. The tech industry is advocating for federal regulations instead, highlighting the potential negative impact on open-source AI models.
