California's state Assembly has approved a contentious AI safety bill, SB 1047, aimed at requiring companies to prevent severe harm from their technologies. The legislation mandates rigorous safety measures and third-party testing for AI models, stirring both praise and opposition. Proponents argue it ensures public safety, while critics, including major tech firms and politicians, warn it may hinder state innovation in AI. The bill proceeds to the Senate for amendments before reaching Governor Newsom for final approval.
