California lawmaker behind SB 1047 reignites push for mandated AI safety reports


California state Senator Scott Wiener issued new amendments to his AI bill, SB 53, that would require AI companies to publish safety reports.

If signed into law, California would be the first state to impose meaningful transparency requirements onto leading AI developers, likely including OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and xAI. “These are concerns that my organization and others have been talking about for a while,” said Nathan Calvin, VP of State Affairs for the nonprofit AI safety group, Encode, in an interview with TechCrunch. Additionally, the bill aims to create CalCompute, a public cloud computing cluster to support startups and researchers developing large-scale AI.
