Curbing catastrophic AI harm

Legislation to curb catastrophic AI harm is moving through NY and CA Legislatures. California’s SB 53 is headed to the Governor’s desk, S6953B. Is awaiting action by New York’s Governor.

The bills seek to “establish rules aiming to prevent the most advanced, large-scale artificial intelligence models — known as frontier AI models — from causing catastrophic harm involving dozens of casualties or billion-dollar damages.”

Arguments calling for a veto include the usual- stifle innovation, patchwork of state laws, liability, and free speech. The NetChoice veto request letter.
