In 2023, California has taken significant steps ahead in AI regulation with Governor Gavin Newsom signing 18 new AI-related laws. Despite this, some high-profile AI legislation was vetoed. As states experiment with and establish their own AI regulations, there is an ongoing debate about whether state-level initiatives will drive broader, national AI policies in the future.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
The steps taken by California highlight the state’s proactive approach to AI regulation. While the 18 new laws represent significant progress, the vetoed legislation suggests that finding a balanced approach to AI governance is challenging. From a tech standpoint, extensive regulation can ensure AI technologies are developed and deployed safely and ethically. However, fragmented state-level regulations could lead to inconsistencies and compliance challenges for developers and tech companies operating nationwide. It is essential for both state and federal authorities to collaborate to create coherent and comprehensive AI rules that promote innovation while safeguarding public interests.
