California's AI Safety Bill Faces Crucial Decision by Governor Newsom

Governor Newsom must decide by September 30th on SB 1047, a bill that could set a precedent for AI regulation in the US.

SAG-AFTRA, NOW, and Fund Her urge Governor Newsom to sign SB 1047, citing potential AI risks.
SB 1047 mandates AI developers to implement safeguards against disasters and includes whistleblower protections.
The bill has garnered unusual political alliances, with figures like Elon Musk supporting and Nancy Pelosi opposing it.
Critics argue the bill could stifle innovation and drive AI companies out of California.
Supporters believe SB 1047 will set important safety standards and influence broader AI governance.
