Episode notes

This chapter discusses a bill introduced by California State Lawmaker Center Scott Wiener that aims to regulate AI companies in California. The bill would require companies to test AI models for unsafe behavior, implement hacking protections, disclose their testing protocols and safety measures, and allow the state's attorney general to sue if a tech causes critical harm. The chapter explores the challenges of balancing innovation and AI safety, as well as the criticism and potential impact of the bill.

Our 155th episode with a summary and discussion of last week's big AI news!

Correction: Andrey said CLIP came out with DALL-E 2; it came out alongside the first DALL-E.
