BSA Raises Concerns About Impact of California's AI Bill on AI Innovation
Inside AI Policy
By Charlie Mitchell
An artificial intelligence regulatory bill has now cleared a vote in the California state Senate’s Judiciary panel after passing the Assembly, despite concerns from the Business Software Alliance that “rigid mandates” in areas such as risk assessments could undermine AI innovation. "BSA urges California to reverse course on AB 1018. Recent amendments did not change that the bill remains a sweeping and flawed attempt to regulate artificial intelligence (AI) that misunderstands how AI is built and deployed,” senior vice president of U.S. government relations Craig Albright said in a July 16 statement.
