Anatomy of an AI veto

California’s Governor vetoed SB1074 (2024 | CA), a bill that would have required Artificial Intelligence testing on the costliest AI. His veto statement said that the bill “could give the public a false sense of security about controlling this fast-moving technology.” The statement concludes, “protecting against actual threats without unnecessarily thwarting the promise of this technology to advance the public good – we must get this right.”
