California's AI Safety Bill Vetoed

California's Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed the proposed AI safety bill SB 1047, which aimed to enforce strict regulations on the AI industry. This bill was designed to hold tech companies accountable for any harms caused by AI systems and required a fail-safe mechanism for them. Newsom expressed concerns that the bill's stringent requirements could stifle innovation, particularly for smaller companies amidst lobbying efforts from major tech players like OpenAI and Google. The lack of a comprehensive AI safety law raises questions about industry regulation moving forward, especially as other states pursue more targeted laws.
