California's ambitious AI safety bill, Senate Bill 1047, introduced by Sen. Scott Wiener, aimed to establish public computing resources called "CalCompute" to counter the dominance of Amazon, Google, and Microsoft in AI infrastructure. Although vetoed by Governor Newsom, the proposal highlights the need for public options to democratize access to AI technology. Similar initiatives in New York and the UK demonstrate a global shift towards public computing infrastructure, crucial for equitable AI development.
