"California Advances Landmark Legislation to Regulate Large AI Models"

There are currently efforts in California to establish first-in-the-nation safety measures for the largest artificial intelligence systems.  The proposal, aiming to reduce potential risks created by AI, would require companies to test their models and publicly disclose their safety protocols to prevent them from being manipulated.  The bill is among hundreds lawmakers are voting on during its final week of session.  Gov. Gavin Newsom then has until the end of September to decide whether to sign them into law, veto them, or allow them to become law without his signature.  The measure was passed in the Assembly on Wednesday and requires a final Senate vote before reaching the governor’s desk.  Supporters of the bill say it would set some of the first much-needed safety ground rules for large-scale AI models in the United States.
