Group co-led by Fei-Fei Li suggests that AI safety laws should anticipate future risks - Maxwell Zeff, Tech Crunch

In a new report, a California-based policy group co-led by Fei-Fei Li, an AI pioneer, suggests that lawmakers should consider AI risks that “have not yet been observed in the world” when crafting AI regulatory policies. The 41-page interim report released on Tuesday comes from the Joint California Policy Working Group on AI Frontier Models, an effort organized by Governor Gavin Newsom following his veto of California’s controversial AI safety bill, SB 1047. While Newsom found that SB 1047 missed the mark, he acknowledged last year the need for a more extensive assessment of AI risks to inform legislators.
