California Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed SB 1047, a significant AI safety bill, citing concerns that it applies stringent standards to large AI systems without considering their deployment context. While proponents like Sen. Scott Wiener and notable figures in AI and Hollywood supported the bill for its preventive measures, critics including tech giants and politicians argued it would stifle innovation. Newsom's veto message emphasized the need for a more nuanced approach to regulation and announced plans to work with experts on future legislation. In contrast, Newsom signed SB 1297 into law, authorizing speed cameras on Malibu's PCH to enhance road safety, following a tragic accident that killed four students. This bill, supported by local officials and residents, aims to curb speeding and improve public safety through automated enforcement and public education campaigns.
