Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) signed a first-of-its-kind state law regulating AI , possibly setting the ground for a national standard.

Senate Bill 53, the Transparency in Frontier Artificial Intelligence Act, would require major AI tech companies to publicly reveal their safety protocols. It also provides protection for whistleblowers reporting of AI company wrongdoing.
