In his veto message, Newsom expressed concerns that the legislation might provide a 'false sense of security' regarding the control of AI technology. He pointed out that the bill focused exclusively on larger AI models, neglecting smaller, potentially equally risky systems, indicating a gap in how the legislation aims to mitigate threats.
Newsom further articulated that SB 1047's stringent standards could misclassify basic functions of AI, suggesting that it treats all AI systems uniformly without considering their risk levels, critical decision-making roles, or sensitive data usage.
Acknowledging the contentious debates surrounding SB 1047, Newsom reiterated his commitment to address AI safety through collaboration. His administration is seeking expert guidance to craft effective regulations aimed at safeguarding public interests as AI technology develops.
The bill garnered mixed responses, supported by names like Elon Musk and the Center for AI Safety, while facing criticism from companies like Meta and OpenAI, highlighting differing industry perspectives on AI regulation.
