The author of SB 1047 introduces a new AI bill in California
The author of California's SB 1047, the nation's most controversial AI safety bill of 2024, is back with a new AI bill that could shake up Silicon Valley.
The new bill specifically protects whistleblowers who believe their employers are creating AI systems that pose a “critical risk.” The bill defines critical risk as a “ foreseeable or material risk that a developer’s development, storage, or deployment of a foundation model, as defined, will result in the death of, or serious injury to, more than 100 people, or more than $1 billion in damage to rights in money or property.” The bill needs to be reviewed and passed by California’s legislative bodies before it reaches Governor Newsom’s desk.
