California Gov. Newsom vetoes AI bill, considered strictest in nation
In his statement, Newsom said the bill focused too much on the biggest and most powerful AI models, saying smaller upstarts could prove to be just as disruptive.
Jesus Christ... "don't pass a law stopping Facebook from sucking up your data because some other company could take over for Facebook and suck up your data instead."
So basically the bill would hold companies accountable for safety testing their potentially dangerous products. He vetoed it because it would be "too onerous."
I'm sorry but if it is to onerous for a business to safety test a product, then they should not be making that product.
It's not like we can spray AI in the faces of monkeys and see if there is a reaction. We don't know how to test them, since we don't know how they will be used. Even in industries that do know how to test safety, saying "let's ground all airplanes until we are 100% sure they won't crash" doesn't make sense.
Come up with reasonable testing goals or just ban AI altogether. This bill is just political messaging.
I'm just seeing all these vetoes. Is he not communicating well with the legislators? Did they pass all of these knowing he would veto ? Is this about sending a message?
