Bill Text - SB-1047 Safe and Secure Innovation for Frontier Artificial Intelligence Models Act.

government

SB 1047 was among the most ambitious U.S. state-level AI safety legislation attempted; its veto sparked significant debate about whether safety regulation should be federal vs. state and how to balance innovation with risk mitigation.

Summary

California Senate Bill 1047 proposed sweeping safety requirements for developers of large frontier AI models, including mandatory safety plans, third-party audits, whistleblower protections, and the ability to shut down AI systems. Though passed by the legislature in 2024, it was vetoed by Governor Newsom, making it a landmark but ultimately unsuccessful attempt at state-level AI governance.

Key Points

  • Required developers spending over $100M on AI training to implement safety and security protocols before deploying frontier models
  • Mandated the ability to implement a 'full shutdown' capability for covered AI systems and required annual safety reviews
  • Established whistleblower protections for employees reporting AI safety violations at covered companies
  • Created a new state body (CalCompute) and required developers to publish safety plans, with AG enforcement authority
  • Vetoed by Gov. Newsom in September 2024, citing concerns it could stifle innovation and set poor regulatory precedent
