This Week In Small Business Technology News: California Regulates AI, ChatGPT Adds E-Commerce And Slack Rolls Out An AI "Teammate"
"Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a landmark bill - SB 53 (Transparency in Frontier Artificial Intelligence Act) - aimed at regulating artificial intelligence in California. The law requires companies developing advanced AI systems to publicly disclose their safety and security protocols and report potential risks to the state. Companies must also report any incidents of cyberattacks without human oversight with whistleblower protections in place for AI workers. Senator Scott Weiner of California - who authored the bill - proposed an earlier version (SB 1047) that was vetoed by Newsom last year."
"All of this sounds great in theory. But report to exactly who at the state? I'm not sure I have much confidence in state regulators even understanding the latest developments in AI technology, when even the leaders at our AI companies don't fully understand them either. Will this be better for business? Will this protect human civilization? Or will this bill "
SB 53 (Transparency in Frontier Artificial Intelligence Act) was signed to regulate advanced AI systems in California. The law mandates public disclosure of safety and security protocols and requires companies to report potential risks to the state. Companies must report cyberattack incidents occurring without human oversight. The statute includes whistleblower protections for AI workers who report concerns. Senator Scott Wiener authored the bill after a prior version (SB 1047) was previously vetoed. Questions remain about the state's capacity to assess AI risks and the law's practical impact on businesses and safety.
