I wrote an article on California AI safety bill SB 1047 for The Nation and the reaction from the AI industry, investors, and the broader tech community. The story was informed by conversations with over a dozen relevant sources and comes shortly before the bill faces a floor vote in the California Assembly.
I think it's useful to understand how industry responds to attempts to regulate AI, and centered my analysis on that topic.
If you're interested in helping share the article, I made a Tweet thread.
