Wiener introduced SB 1047 to require AI developers to mitigate catastrophic harm, but it faced opposition from major players in the tech industry and Congress.
Nancy Pelosi criticized Wiener’s bill for being 'well-intentioned but ill-informed,' highlighting the deep divides even among California Democrats regarding tech regulation.
Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed SB 1047, stating it overemphasized regulating model size instead of context, showcasing the complexity of AI regulation.
Despite the opposition, Wiener has emerged as a key advocate for state-level AI regulation amid federal inaction, insisting ‘If any state can do it, it's California.’
