Summary
California State Senator Scott Wiener joins Lawfare to discuss SB 1047, his 'Safe and Secure Innovation for Frontier Artificial Intelligence Models' bill. The conversation covers key debates the bill has sparked around AI safety vs. security, state vs. federal regulation, and model-level vs. end-user governance. Wiener addresses opposition from the tech industry and signals openness to amendments.
Key Points
- •SB 1047 focuses on regulating frontier AI models rather than end-users, making it a novel approach in AI governance debates.
- •Wiener acknowledges significant industry opposition but distinguishes between constructive critics and those opposed to any AI regulation.
- •The bill has become a flashpoint for broader debates: state vs. federal AI regulation and AI safety vs. AI security framing.
- •Wiener signals openness to amendments, including removing the proposed Frontier Model Division, partly in response to Anthropic's suggestions.
- •FTC Chair Lena Khan's implicit skepticism and tech-sector pushback illustrate the political headwinds facing state-level AI safety legislation.
