California Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill that aimed to regulate artificial intelligence (AI) models, citing concerns that it would hinder innovation and fail to protect the public from the 'real' threats raised by AI. Newsom argued that the bill focused too much on regulating existing top AI firms without protecting the public from the 'real' threats posed by the new technology, and instead asked for the development of 'workable guardrails' that focus on creating a 'science-based trajectory analysis'.
