The amended bill S.B. 1047 will require companies to test the safety of powerful A.I. technologies before public release, establishing strong standards for tech development.
Senator Scott Wiener has made concessions in an effort to assuage critics from the tech industry, significantly altering the implications of the initial safety regulations.
The bill now stipulates that companies would only be penalized for safety violations if their A.I. technologies caused real harm or posed imminent threats, reflecting new stakeholder input.
With months of dialogue among industry and academic stakeholders, these amendments show a compromise aimed at balancing innovation and safety in the rapidly evolving A.I. landscape.
