California has passed the AI bill SB 1047, which requires models trained with over 10^26 FLOPS to have safeguards against creating weapons, a shutdown button, and extensive reporting to the government. The bill aims to regulate AI development and use, sparking concerns about its impact on innovation and compliance.
A huge win for @MattHaneySF's AB 2479, which will create sober, drug free recovery housing across CA. It passed the Assembly with 71 bipartisan votes and now goes to the State Senate. @Twolfrecovery @lwoodhouse @JacquiBerlinn
We’ve gotten a lot of questions about SB 1047, a new bill in the California legislature authored by Senator Scott Wiener and co-sponsored by Center for AI Safety Action Fund, Encode Justice, and Economic Security Project. What would the bill actually do? 🧵
Today the full Assembly overwhelmingly passed my bill requiring state agencies to track and report the costs and outcomes of California homelessness programs. #AB2903 now moves to the Senate for consideration. This is a major step forward for transparency and accountability.
