Professor Gabriel Weil Publishes Article on Regulating Artificial Intelligence on Lawfare
Assistant Professor of Law Gabriel Weil recently published an article on regulating Artificial Intelligence on Lawfare. In his article, Professor Weil writes:
“California SB-1047, the Safe and Secure Innovation for Frontier Artificial Intelligence Models Act, was introduced by Sen. Scott Weiner in February and passed through the Judiciary Committee and the Committee on Governmental Organization in April. This legislation represents an important first step toward protecting humanity from the risks of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Weiner and his co-sponsors deserve praise for taking on this critical and neglected issue. Nonetheless, the bill falls short of its promise to protect public safety from the risks posed by frontier AI systems in a few key respects.
“These shortcomings all relate to one central fact: AI safety remains unsolved as a technical problem. The best way to encourage frontier AI developers to continually push forward the safety frontier is to make them bear the risk that systems will cause harm. SB-1047 holds AI developers liable only when they fail to adopt specific precautionary measures laid out in the statute. Policymakers should not be confident that these precautionary measures will provide adequate protection for public safety.”
