Governor Newsom's veto of SB 1047 disappointed critics like Buck Shlegeris, who argue the decision compromises safety against AI's dangers. Shlegeris criticizes the influence of wealthy donors on policy decisions. This reflects a larger debate in the Bay Area over how to manage AI’s rapid evolution. While many believe AI could radically change industries, it also poses significant risks. Redwood Research aims to influence tech giants like Google and Anthropic to adopt safer practices before these potential dangers materialize.
"I think Newsom caved to the interest of his big donors and other business supporters in a way that is quite shameful," Shlegeris said.
"The rise of technology in recent years has led to divergent opinions about how the tech industry should regulate its exponential growth."
"A.I. has the potential to be a really transformative technology, even more so than electricity. It will affect basically every job."
"Shlegeris hopes Redwood Research can make headway with companies like Google Deep Mind and Anthropic before his worst fears are realized."
