California Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed a controversial artificial-intelligence safety bill that pitted some of the biggest tech companies against prominent scientists who developed the technology.
The Democrat decided to reject the measure because it applies only to the biggest and most expensive AI models and leaves others unregulated, according to a person with knowledge of his thinking. Smaller models could prove just as problematic, and Newsom would prefer a regulatory framework that encompasses them all, the person added.
Had Newsom signed the bill into law, it would have laid the groundwork for how AI is regulated across the U.S., as California is home to the top companies in the industry. Proposals to regulate AI nationally have made little progress in Washington.
The governor is hoping to work with AI researchers and other experts on new legislation next year that could tackle in a more comprehensive way the same concerns of the bill he vetoed—about AI acting in ways its designers didn’t intend and causing economic or societal damage, the person with knowledge of his thinking said.
