California's Governor Gavin Newsom has vetoed a significant A.I. regulation bill (S.B. 1047) amid pressure from major tech companies. This bill aimed to establish safety testing for powerful A.I. models but faced opposition from venture capitalists and tech executives who argued it would hinder innovation. Newsom indicated that he would form a panel of experts to devise better regulations for A.I. as the debate continues on how best to balance innovation and safety in the A.I. sector.
