Senator Scott Wiener's SF bill on AI was meant to pioneer regulations but was heavily diluted, failing to provide substantial new rules as Governor Newsom vetoed it.
Wiener, possibly motivated by local tech interests, saw his AI bill become a tool for political convenience rather than a mean to protect against risks posed by AI.
Critics question the complexity of the new AI measure, noting simpler, better-established protocols like Asimov's laws from 1942 could better address potential AI hazards.
Governor Newsom's veto raises concerns about the effectiveness of heavily modified legislation, especially when foundational guidelines for AI safety already exist in literature.
