SB 1047, the proposed AI bill that hurts startups, open source developers, and academia, moved closer to becoming law this week with a committee approval in the CA Legislature. Many in the CA Assembly think the bill's problems have been "fixed," but this is far from reality: This is not just a minor state bill; it's a significant overreach that would determine the future of AI for the country, while ignoring repeated feedback and concerns from Little Tech about the bill's unintended consequences https://lnkd.in/gtUSQ-vt The amendments made before this week's committee hearing do not address the most fundamental problem with the bill - restricting AI research instead of regulating misuses of models. Even more troubling, the latest amendments make the bill worse. https://lnkd.in/gpPPGc3C With the August vote deadline looming, it's more important than ever for Little Tech—startups, researchers, and the open-source AI community at large—to voice concerns about SB 1047. In the next few days, we will be amplifying the voices that Scott Wiener's team has ignored. If you'd like to speak up against the bill, please sign up here.
