California Governor Gavin Newsom recently made a big decision about the rules for Artificial Intelligence (AI) in California. He said no to a law called SB-1047. This law was really tough and would’ve set really strict rules for AI in California, stricter than anywhere else in the world.
AI is a big deal. It’s like having a computer that can think, decide, and learn all by itself. SB-1047 wanted to make sure AI was safe and didn’t cause any harm. But Governor Newsom thought the law wasn’t the best way to handle things. He believes smaller AI programs can be just as risky as the big ones, and this law only focused on the big AI programs.
Even though this law didn’t pass, there are still other laws and rules about AI that businesses will have to follow. This might be tricky because different places have different rules. In Europe, they have their own AI law, and in the United States, there are rules in each state and plans for a national AI safety group. For now, though, a big nationwide law about AI safety seems uncertain because politicians in the U.S. Congress can’t agree on what to do.
What’s interesting is that a lot of people in California actually liked the idea of SB-1047. Experts, celebrities, and even some AI companies thought it was a good plan. They wanted to make sure that AI could be used safely and not go out of control or be used for bad things like hacking or making dangerous weapons.
But, some people think the law was going too hard on AI. They said it was based on worries that AI might do stuff on its own that it wasn’t made to do. People working closely with AI haven’t seen that kind of thing happen and don’t think it’s going to be a problem soon.
Governor Newsom wants to keep working on making AI safe. He plans to talk with experts about what to do next. He wants to figure out the best way to protect people from any risks that AI might have, and he’ll also look at how AI can change jobs.
The big message here is that keeping AI in check is important, and businesses trying to use AI need to stay updated on all the different rules.
