A California lawmaker has proposed new regulations for artificial intelligence after a previous bill was vetoed. The new legislation requires companies with advanced AI models to disclose safety protocols and report critical incidents to the state attorney general. This proposal aims to introduce transparency measures and includes whistleblower protections. It emphasizes the need for balance between fostering innovation in AI while ensuring public safety. Especially relevant are major companies like OpenAI and Google, anticipated to be impacted by these regulations as discussions regarding AI accountability continue.
"As AI continues its remarkable advancement, it's critical that lawmakers work with our top AI minds to craft policies that support AI's huge potential benefits while guarding against material risks," Wiener said. "SB 53 strikes the right balance between boosting innovation and establishing guardrails to support trust, fairness and accountability in the most remarkable new technology in years."
The legislation includes protections for whistleblowers within AI companies and the creation of a public cloud to provide low-cost access to computing power for startups and academic researchers.
