In his veto message, Governor Gavin Newsom stated that SB 1047, though 'well-intentioned', does not effectively address the various risks associated with AI deployment and its contexts.
The revised bill would have made AI developers liable for safety protocols against catastrophic misuse, but Newsom opposed it, asserting it misapplies stringent standards to basic AI functions.
Newsom questioned the approach of the bill, arguing it might not provide the best public protection against real risks of AI technology, focusing instead on the largest expenditures.
SB 1047 included measures for AI developers such as testing, risk assessments, and an emergency shutdown. However, the bill's previous provisions on accountability were significantly weakened.
