The February edition of our monthly notes on Digital Transformation has just been published - with all the news on the final strokes to the EU’s AI Act – the world’s first comprehensive regulation of artificial intelligence – in addition to the actions taken in the US following the Executive Order on AI - and the attempts to agree on an international AI Treaty

Thanks to everyone who signed the petition and Governor Gavin Newsom for vetoing SB 1047! This legislation would have frozen innovation, driving AI investment and talent out of California. I look forward to continuing the conversation to promote thoughtful AI policies in the future.   https://lnkd.in/e82QzkaK   #AI #SB1047 #TechPolicy

Wondering how CA Governor Newsom's veto and the broader debate over AI regulation will impact the tech community? Our client Voxel51 shared insights with The Hill tech reporter Miranda Nazzaro. Newsom recently vetoed a bill requiring powerful AI models to undergo safety testing before being released to the public. Voxel51 co-founder Jason Corso offers his perspectives in the article -- specifically on how open source AI fits into the story. #AIRegulation #OpenSourceAI #AIEthics #TechPolicy

#ainews Kelly Cohen - Zachary Huhn policy - governance. Per an AI webinar I was attending with Greg Erdman we were informed that US FED was going to allow states to create policy for AI legislation. Looks like California is moving forward. Californian Senator Scott Weiner has put forward a bill that aims to ensure the safe development of large-scale AI systems through the introduction of what he describes as “clear, predictable, common-sense safety standards.” The bill, which is also known as SB 1047, would seek to establish safety standards for developers of the largest and most powerful AI systems, with Weiner specifically stating that startups would not fall under the scope of the legislation. https://lnkd.in/gMP7-exH

California is stepping into the spotlight with Senate Bill 1047, a move that could reshape the landscape of artificial intelligence in the state. The bill, known officially as the Safe and Secure Innovation for All Act, focuses on regulating large AI models that have been growing rapidly in both influence and capability. California’s new legislative effort aims to bring oversight and safety to the forefront of AI development , potentially tightening control over Big Tech’s AI innovations.

The February edition of our monthly notes on Digital Transformation is out, with all the news on the final strokes to the EU’s AI Act – the world’s first comprehensive regulation of artificial intelligence – in addition to other developments in the US and on an international level on AI regulation. Read the note here:

"The fear of a rogue #superintelligence taking over the world is increasingly influencing the perception of #AI among decision makers. The drama around the hiring-firing-then-rehiring of #OpenAI CEO Sam Altman highlighted this radical shift’s consolidation, revealing a deep split in the AI community between the ‘doomer’ and ‘boomer’ factions..." "Thankfully, it seems that #EU regulators have not been swayed by the alarmism surrounding the AI Act’s drafting. If the final text preserves the current focus and balance, the AI Act could become an inspiration for a more meaningful, less long-sighted approach to global AI #governance." Very insightful article by Paula Gürtler at #GRID CEPS (Centre for European Policy Studies)

On 29 December 2023, on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, 2024 was declared to be the “year of AI” by top tech analyst Dan Ives.
