Commentary
The much-touted California state AI safety bill, SB 1047, considered the most stringent in the nation, has been vetoed by the California governor. Baby steps in addressing some of the low-hanging fruits in the AI regulation landscape are better than giant leaps. One such step would be to mandate the traceability of data. California should take the lead on this, just like it did on data privacy.
