Governor Gavin Newsom has vetoed SB 1047, a bill aimed at regulating AI development and imposing safety protocols on high-cost models. Newsom cited concerns that the bill's broad applicability to all large, computation-heavy models was not the best approach for effective AI regulation. Despite the veto, Newsom remains committed to developing AI safeguards, having recently signed multiple related bills and consulting experts for guidance.

AI's Privilege Expansion

AI is rapidly expanding access to traditionally expensive and inaccessible services like education, healthcare, and personal styling.
