A first of its kind AI bill is winding its way through California , causing infighting between groups of AI pioneers.
California state Senator Scott Wiener, co-author of the bill, accused some opponents of “fear mongering” to try and stop the state legislation from being passed. Wiener, who represents San Francisco, held a virtual press conference on Wednesday with supporters of the bill, including Yoshua Bengio, known as one of the “godfathers of AI,” Center for AI Safety director Dan Hendrycks, Economic Security California director Terri Oll, Encode Justice's vice president of political affairs Sunny Gandhi, and AI startup Ava's CEO Thibault Duchemin.)’s AI model Llama.
“A federally-driven set of AI policies, rather than a patchwork of state laws, will foster innovation and position the US to lead the development of global standards," wrote Kwon. Wiener said he would welcome the federal government to preempt SB 1047 with strong AI safety regulation. “Congress has been completely paralyzed when it comes to technology policy,” Wiener said. “There are good people in Congress working to do so but the institution as a whole has not acted in the way it needs to act."
