California State Senator Scott Wiener is at the center of a controversy involving his draft AI bill, SB 1047. Last week, Wiener publicly criticized prominent venture capital firms Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and Y Combinator for making 'inaccurate, inflammatory statements' about the bill. The senator has also claimed that Y Combinator has not responded to his requests for improvements to the legislation. The PACs have raised $770k for a measure to cut business taxes.
