3. Regulators (Mount Up)

With apologies to Nate Dog and Warren G, the Regulators are ready to ride. As I mentioned in Tuesday’s email, California Senate Bill 1047 has been amended and a vote is expected by end of month. As California often sets precedents in technology regulation, this bill could significantly influence AI governance approaches nationally and even internationally. The effectiveness of this legislation will likely depend upon its implementation and the ability of the new Board of Frontier Models to adapt to the fast-paced changes in AI technology.
