California Senator Scott Wiener is advocating for stronger AI regulations after his controversial bill, SB 1047, aimed at mitigating risks from advanced AI, was vetoed by Governor Gavin Newsom. Despite facing opposition from prominent Democrats like Nancy Pelosi, Wiener aims to establish state-level AI safety measures, drawing parallels to past successes in tech regulation, such as net neutrality. He plans to introduce new AI legislation next year, emphasizing the need for proactive measures.
