Elon Musk stated that California "should probably pass the SB 1047 AI safety bill," arguing that the risks AI poses to the public justify regulation. He noted that it's a "tough call" that might upset some people.
Sen. Scott Wiener, the bill's sponsor, emphasized the need for regulation: "I reject the false claim that in order to innovate, we must leave safety solely in the hands of technology companies and venture capitalists."
Landon Klein from the Future of Life Institute remarked on the bill's balanced approach, suggesting critics do not favor regulation partly due to the accountability it demands from AI companies.
Opposition from politicians such as Nancy Pelosi and various industry groups highlights concerns that the bill may stifle innovation and add excessive burdens on AI developers.
