Summary

California Senate Bill 1047 proposed safety requirements for developers of large frontier AI models, including mandatory safety testing, incident reporting, and the ability to shut down AI systems. The bill passed both chambers of the California legislature in 2024 but was ultimately vetoed by Governor Newsom in September 2024.

Key Points

  • Would have required developers of frontier AI models (above a compute/cost threshold) to implement safety protocols and conduct pre-deployment testing
  • Mandated kill-switch capabilities and incident reporting obligations for covered AI model developers
  • Passed both the California Senate and Assembly before being vetoed by Governor Gavin Newsom in September 2024
  • Represented one of the most significant state-level AI safety legislative efforts in the US, generating major debate across the AI industry
  • The bill's version history shows extensive amendment process from February 2024 introduction through September 2024 enrollment
