Gavin Newsom Issues Sharp Criticism of Federal Artificial Intelligence Policy

California Governor Gavin Newsom stated that the federal administration's voluntary AI safety pact and limited oversight approach are dangerous, drawing attention to the need for increased supervision at the state level.

Criticism of Artificial Intelligence Policy

California Governor Gavin Newsom emphasized that limited federal-level artificial intelligence oversight may fall short regarding technology safety.

In a post on the X platform, he stated that the lack of supervision harbors major risks for this rapidly developing technology.

Industry Regulations and State Measures

Comparing AI oversight to the strict rules in the pharmaceutical and aviation sectors, Newsom argued that industries should not be left to themselves.

He stated that in cases where federal leadership is lacking, California must continue to strengthen its own regulations.

White House Agreement and Typo

Major technology leaders were among the signatories of the voluntary artificial intelligence agreement announced by the White House.

A spelling error in the signature text during the announcement of the agreement also drew public attention.
