OpenAI's chief strategy officer, Jason Kwon, argued that California's AI regulation bill, requiring strict safety protocols, risks stifling innovation and could drive technology companies out of the state. He emphasized that it's crucial to manage national security regulations at the federal level, rather than enacting a ‘patchwork of state laws’ that could create uneven standards across the industry.
Meta's Rob Sherman highlighted concerns that the proposed legislation might hinder the open-source movement by exposing developers to significant legal liabilities. He expressed fears that such regulation could inadvertently stifle innovation in the tech ecosystem, as smaller businesses often depend on open-source models to drive their development and progress.
The SB 1047 bill, introduced by California State Senator Scott Wiener, aims to enforce 'common sense safety standards' for AI systems costing over $100 million, enforcing strict protocols to mitigate risks like cyberattacks or the creation of weapons of mass destruction, pushing for a 'kill switch' feature to halt operations in critical scenarios.
