Now California Governor Gavin Newsom is to make the final decision on signing the bill into law.
In 2024, Newsom vetoed a similar bill, but this year a more lenient approach to AI regulation was proposed, based on an expert report on AI safety commissioned by Newsom himself, Politico reported.
If the bill is signed, AI companies will have to disclose how their systems are tested for security and undergo appropriate certification, Politico reported.
