Opinion: California's AI safety bill is under fire. Making it law is the best way to improve it
Briefly

The California Legislature's Senate Bill 1047 mandates that AI developers implement safeguards in their models, positioning regulation ahead of potential catastrophic AI-related harms.
Prominent AI companies oppose the bill, arguing it could hinder innovation and place unreasonable responsibilities on developers for the actions of others.
Sen. Scott Wiener, the bill's author, emphasizes that regulation is essential, stating it's better to act now than to wait for a potential crisis.
A veto of SB 1047 could indicate a troubling lack of willingness from governments to impose necessary regulations on advancing technology.
