The California Legislature passed a bill (SB 1047) that could become the national standard for regulating artificial intelligence. The measure would require AI companies that spend more than $100 million on training an AI model or over $10 million on modifying one to test whether those models could cause mass casualties or major property damage before releasing them to the public. It would also allow the state’s attorney general to sue AI developers for serious harms caused by their systems. But Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) hasn’t indicated whether or not he supports the legislation, and the tech industry has been strongly pressuring him to veto it. (NEW YORK TIMES, CALMATTERS, LEXISNEXIS STATE NET)

Such blocks have typically lasted only a few days before the targeted company complied. (CNBC, NEW YORK TIMES)
