Deep dives
The Need for AI Safety Legislation
Legislative efforts, such as California's SB 1047, are being introduced to mitigate the risks associated with large-scale artificial intelligence models. This bill aims to require companies that develop particularly powerful AI systems to conduct comprehensive safety evaluations before releasing their models. If these evaluations indicate a high risk of catastrophic harm, companies are mandated to take reasonable measures to mitigate that risk. With the California Senate already passing the bill and it nearing an assembly floor vote, it represents a significant step toward encouraging accountability among AI developers.
