California Lawmakers Debate AI Regulation Measures
July 7, 2024
California lawmakers are considering a bill that would regulate the development and use of artificial intelligence (AI) systems in the state. The proposal has sparked debate among tech companies, with some arguing that overregulation could stifle innovation and make the AI ecosystem less safe. Opponents want to wait for guidance from the federal government, while proponents argue that California cannot afford to wait, citing lessons learned from regulating social media companies. The bill would also create a new state agency to oversee AI development and provide best practices. Additionally, lawmakers are considering measures to combat automation discrimination and prohibit social media companies from collecting data on minors without consent.
