The letters from SAG-AFTRA, NOW, and Fund Her highlight concerns about AI's potential to cause catastrophic harm if the technology is left unregulated. SAG-AFTRA outlines SB 1047's mandate for developers to test for and safeguard against AI-enabled disasters, like cyberattacks on critical infrastructure or bioweapon development.
NOW and Fund Her cite grave warnings from people at the forefront of AI and discuss the technology's potentially disproportionate impacts on vulnerable groups. They emphasize the urgent need for regulation to protect those most affected.
SAG-AFTRA posted a call for support yesterday on X from its 160,000 members, including high-profile stars, urging collective action for responsible AI development and advocating for the passage of SB 1047.
Fund Her writes of the 'race to develop the first independent thinking AI,' warning that once that happens, 'it will be too late to impose safety guardrails,' emphasizing the importance of proactive measures now.
