California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sunday vetoed a controversial intelligence security bill, after the tech industry raised objections, saying it could drive AI companies out of the state and block new ones.
Newsom said he has asked leading experts in Generative AI to help California “develop effective pathways” focused on “developing science-based analytics.” He also ordered government agencies to increase their assessment of risks from potentially catastrophic events associated with the use of AI.
