“The benefits of the California AI bill likely outweigh the costs,” according to Anthropic.

Anthropic stated on Thursday that the advantages of California’s updated measure, which aims to control the development and deployment of artificial intelligence within the state, most certainly surpass the disadvantages.
Amazon and Alphabet support Anthropic, a San Francisco-based competitor to OpenAI, the producer of ChatGPT.
The Democratic State Senator Scott Wiener of California has introduced a measure to regulate artificial intelligence (SB 1047). This law would require safety testing of any AI models with a development cost of above $100 million or a certain amount of computer capacity.

The state requires AI software developers to include a “kill switch”—a way to disable the AI models—in case they malfunction. Additionally, developers who do not comply would be subject to lawsuits by the state attorney general, as provided for in the measure.
THE IMPORTANCE OF IT
Based in part on Anthropic’s recommendations, Senator Wiener recently amended the measure to placate tech businesses. A government AI monitoring committee was removed from the amended law.

Many IT businesses working on artificial intelligence have been hesitant to support the measure. AI can respond to cues with fully formed text, graphics, or voice and can conduct repeated jobs with minimal human participation.
Google and Meta both owned by Alphabet, have written to Wiener to voice their worries about the plan. Meta specifically claims that it will make the state less conducive to AI research and development and implementation.
According to OpenAI, the California measure leaves the legal landscape for artificial intelligence (AI) unclear and the federal government should regulate the technology.

We think the benefits of the revised SB 1047 much exceed its expenses because of how much it has been enhanced. “However, we want to clarify that we are not yet certain of this, and we continue to have concerns or questions regarding certain parts of the bill,” said Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei in an August 21 letter to California Governor Gavin Newsom.
“Our initial concerns about the bill potentially hindering innovation due to the rapidly evolving nature of the field have been greatly reduced in the amended version.”
