Musk Unexpectedly Supports California AI Safety Bill, Calls It a Tough Decision
Musk supports California's SB1047 bill, which requires large AI model development companies to document safety measures to prevent models from causing serious harm. He emphasized that he has always advocated for AI regulation, believing it should be treated like the regulation of risky products and technologies. Musk's company xAI will be bound by this law, even though he plans to leave California. In contrast, OpenAI openly opposes SB1047 and supports an alternative bill. Adobe and Microsoft, on the other hand, support another new California bill AB3211, which requires labeling of AI-generated content. These developments highlight the dynamic landscape of AI regulation.
