Safe and Secure Innovation for Frontier Artificial Intelligence Models Act

The Safe and Secure Innovation for Frontier Artificial Intelligence Models Act, or SB 1047, is a 2024 California bill intended to "mitigate the risk of catastrophic harms from AI models so advanced that they are not yet known to exist".[1] Specifically, the bill would apply to models which cost more than $100 million to train and were trained using a quantity of computing power greater than 1026 integer or floating-point operations.[2] SB 1047 would apply to all AI companies doing business in California—the location of the company does not matter.[3] The bill creates protections for whistleblowers[4] and requires developers to perform risk assessments of their models prior to release, under the supervision of the Government Operations Agency. It would also establish CalCompute, a University of California public cloud computing cluster for startups, researchers and community groups.

Background

edit

The rapid increase in capabilities of AI systems in the 2020s, including the release of ChatGPT in November 2022, caused some researchers and members of the public to express concern about existential risks associated with increasingly powerful AI systems.[5][6] The plausibility of this threat is widely debated.[7] AI regulation is also sometimes advocated for in order to prevent bias and privacy violations.[6] However, it has been criticized as possibly leading to regulatory capture by large AI companies like OpenAI, in which regulation advances the interest of larger companies at the expense of smaller competition and the public in general.[6]

In May 2023, hundreds of tech executives and AI researchers[8] signed a statement on AI risk of extinction, which read "Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war." It received signatures from the two most-cited AI researchers,[9][10][11] Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio, along with industry figures such as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei.[12][13] Many other experts thought that existential concerns were overblown and unrealistic, as well as a distraction from the near-term harms of AI, for example discriminatory automated decision making.[14] Famously, Sam Altman strongly requested AI regulation from Congress at a hearing the same month.[6][15] Several technology companies have made voluntary commitments to conduct safety testing, for example at the AI Safety Summit and AI Seoul Summit.[16][17]

Governor Newsom of California and President Biden issued executive orders on artificial intelligence in 2023.[18][19][20] State Senator Wiener said SB 1047 draws heavily on the Biden executive order, and is motivated by the absence of unified federal legislation on AI safety.[21] California has previously legislated on tech issues, including consumer privacy and net neutrality, in the absence of action by Congress.[22][23]

History

edit

The bill was originally drafted by Dan Hendrycks, co-founder of the Center for AI Safety, who has previously argued that evolutionary pressures on AI could lead to "a pathway towards being supplanted as the Earth's dominant species."[24][25] The center issued a statement in May 2023 co-signed by Elon Musk and hundreds of other business leaders stating that "Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war."[26]

State Senator Wiener first proposed AI legislation for California through an intent bill called SB 294, the Safety in Artificial Intelligence Act, in September 2023.[27][28][29] SB 1047 was introduced by Wiener on February 7, 2024.[30][31]

On May 21, SB 1047 passed the Senate 32-1.[32][33] The bill was significantly amended by Wiener on August 15, 2024 in response to industry advice.[34] Amendments included adding clarifications, and removing the creation of a "Frontier Model Division" and the penalty of perjury.[35][36]

On August 28, the bill passed the State Assembly 48-16. Then, due to the amendments, the bill was once again voted on by the Senate, passing 30-9.[37][38]

On September 29, Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed the bill. It is considered unlikely that the legislature will override the governor's veto with a two-thirds vote from both houses.[39]

Provisions

edit

Prior to model training, developers of covered models and derivatives are required to submit a certification, subject to auditing, of mitigation of "reasonable" risk of "critical harms" of the covered model and its derivatives, including post-training modifications. Safeguards to reduce risk include the ability to shut down the model,[4] which has been variously described as a "kill switch"[40] and "circuit breaker".[41] Whistleblowing provisions protect employees who report safety problems and incidents.[4]

SB 1047 would also create a public cloud computing cluster called CalCompute, associated with the University of California, to support startups, researchers, and community groups that lack large-scale computing resources.[35]

Covered models

edit

SB 1047 covers AI models with training compute over 1026 integer or floating-point operations and a cost of over $100 million.[2][42] If a covered model is fine-tuned using more than $10 million, the resulting model is also covered.[36]

Critical harms

edit

Critical harms are defined with respect to four categories:[1][43]

Compliance and supervision

edit

SB 1047 would require developers, beginning January 1, 2026, to annually retain a third-party auditor to perform an independent audit of compliance with the requirements of the bill, as provided.[35] The Government Operations Agency would review the results of safety tests and incidents, and issue guidance, standards, and best practices.[35] The bill creates a Board of Frontier Models to supervise the application of the bill by the Government Operations Agency. It is composed of 9 members.[42][needs update]

Reception

edit

Debate

edit

Proponents of the bill describe its provisions as simple and narrowly-focused, with Sen. Scott Weiner describing it as a "light-touch, basic safety bill".[45] This has been disputed by critics of the bill, who describe the bill's language as vague and criticize it as consolidating power in the largest AI companies at the expense of smaller ones.[45] Proponents responded that the bill only applies to models trained using more than 1026 FLOPS and with over $100 millions, or fine-tuned with more than $10 millions, and that the threshold could be increased if needed.[46]

The penalty of perjury has been a subject of debate, and was eventually removed through an amendment. The scope of the "kill switch" requirement had also been reduced, following concerns from open-source developers. Contention also happened on the usage of the term "reasonable assurance", eventually replaced after the amendment by "reasonable care". Critics argued that "reasonable care" standard imposes an excessive burden by requiring confidence that models could not be used to cause catastrophic harm, while proponents argued that the standard of "reasonable care" does not imply certainty and is a well-established legal standard that already applies to AI developers under existing law.[46]

Support and opposition

edit

Supporters of the bill include Turing Award recipients Yoshua Bengio[47] and Geoffrey Hinton,[48] Elon Musk,[49] Bill de Blasio,[50] Kevin Esvelt,[51] Dan Hendrycks,[52] Vitalik Buterin,[53] OpenAI whistleblowers Daniel Kokotajlo[44] and William Saunders,[54] Lawrence Lessig,[55] Sneha Revanur,[56] Stuart Russell,[55] Jan Leike,[57] actors Mark Ruffalo, Sean Astin, and Rosie Perez,[58] Scott Aaronson,[59] and Max Tegmark.[60] The Center for AI Safety, Economic Security California[61] and Encode Justice[62] are sponsors. Yoshua Bengio writes that the bill is a major step towards testing and safety measures for "AI systems beyond a certain level of capability [that] can pose meaningful risks to democracies and public safety."[63] Max Tegmark likened the bill's focus on holding companies responsible for the harms caused by their models to the FDA requiring clinical trials before a company can release a drug to the market. He also argued that the opposition to the bill from some companies is "straight out of Big Tech's playbook."[60] The Los Angeles Times editorial board has also written in support of the bill.[64] The labor union SAG-AFTRA and two women's groups, the National Organization for Women and Fund Her, have sent support letters to Governor Newsom.[65] Over 120 Hollywood celebrities, including Mark Hamill, Jane Fonda, and J. J. Abrams, signed a statement in support of the bill.[66]

Andrew Ng, Fei-Fei Li,[67] Ion Stoica, Jeremy Howard, Turing Award recipient Yann LeCun, along with U.S. Congressmembers Nancy Pelosi, Zoe Lofgren, Anna Eshoo, Ro Khanna, Scott Peters, Tony Cárdenas, Ami Bera, Nanette Barragán and Lou Correa have come out against the legislation.[6][68][69] Andrew Ng argues specifically that there are better more targeted regulatory approaches, such as targeting deepfake pornography, watermarking generated materials, and investing in red teaming and other security measures.[63] University of California and Caltech researchers have also written open letters in opposition.[68]

Industry

edit

The bill is opposed by industry trade associations including the California Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Progress,[a] the Computer & Communications Industry Association[b] and TechNet.[c][2] Companies including Meta[73] and OpenAI[74] are opposed to or have raised concerns about the bill, while Google,[73] Microsoft and Anthropic[60] have proposed substantial amendments.[3] Several startup founder and venture capital organizations are opposed to the bill, for example, Y Combinator,[75][76] Andreessen Horowitz,[77][78][79] Context Fund[80][81] and Alliance for the Future.[82]

After the bill was amended, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei wrote that "the new SB 1047 is substantially improved, to the point where we believe its benefits likely outweigh its costs. However, we are not certain of this, and there are still some aspects of the bill which seem concerning or ambiguous to us."[83] Amodei also commented, "There were some companies talking about moving operations out of California. In fact, the bill applies to doing business in California or deploying models in California... Anything about 'Oh, we're moving our headquarters out of California...' That's just theater. That's just negotiating leverage. It bears no relationship to the actual content of the bill."[84] xAI CEO Elon Musk wrote, "I think California should probably pass the SB 1047 AI safety bill. For over 20 years, I have been an advocate for AI regulation, just as we regulate any product/technology that is a potential risk to the public."[85]

On September 9, 2024, at least 113 current and former employees of AI companies OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Anthropic, Meta, and xAI signed a letter to Governor Newsom in support of SB 1047.[86][87]

Open source developers

edit

Critics expressed concerns about liability on open source software imposed by the bill if they use or improve existing freely available models. Yann LeCun, the Chief AI Officer of Meta, has suggested the bill would kill open source AI models.[63] Currently (as of July 2024), there are concerns in the open-source community that due to the threat of legal liability companies like Meta may choose not to make models (for example, Llama) freely available.[88][89] The AI Alliance has written in opposition to the bill, among other open-source organizations.[68] In contrast, Creative Commons co-founder Lawrence Lessig has written that SB 1047 would make open source AI models safer and more popular with developers, since both harm and liability for that harm are less likely.[41]

Public opinion polls

edit

The Artificial Intelligence Policy Institute, a pro-regulation AI think tank,[90] ran three polls of California respondents on whether they supported or opposed SB 1047.

Support Oppose Not sure Margin of error
July 9, 2024[91][92] 59% 20% 22% ±5.2%
August 4–5, 2024[93][94] 65% 25% 10% ±4.9%
August 25–26, 2024[95][96] 70% 13% 17% ±4.2%

A YouGov poll commissioned by the Economic Security Project found that 78% of registered voters across the United States supported SB 1047, and 80% thought that Governor Newsom should sign the bill.[97]

A David Binder Research poll commissioned by the Center for AI Safety, a group focused on mitigating societal-scale risk and a sponsor of the bill, found that 77% of Californians support a proposal to require companies to test AI models for safety risks, and 86% consider it an important priority for California to develop AI safety regulations.[98][99][100][101]

SB 1047 Governor Veto

edit

Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed SB 1047 on September 29, 2024, citing concerns over the bill's regulatory framework targeting only large AI models based on their computational size, while not taking into account whether the models are deployed in high-risk environments.[102][103] Newsom emphasized that this approach could create a false sense of security, overlooking smaller models that might present equally significant risks.[102][104] He acknowledged the need for AI safety protocols[102][105] but stressed the importance of adaptability in regulation as AI technology continues to evolve rapidly.[102][106]

Governor Newsom also committed to working with technology experts, federal partners, and academic institutions, including Stanford University's Human-Centered AI (HAI) Institute, led by Dr. Fei-Fei Li. He announced plans to collaborate with these entities to advance responsible AI development, aiming to protect the public while fostering innovation.[102][107]

  103. ^ "Adaptability is critical as we race to regulate a technology still in its infancy. This will require a delicate balance. While well-intentioned, SB 1047 does not take into account whether an Al system is deployed in high-risk environments, involves critical decision-making or the use of sensitive data. Instead, the bill applies stringent standards to even the most basic functions - so long as a large system deploys it. I do not believe this is the best approach to protecting the public from real threats posed by the technology"
  104. ^ "By focusing only on the most expensive and large-scale models, SB 1047 establishes a regulatory framework that could give the public a false sense of security about controlling this fast-moving technology. Smaller, specialized models may emerge as equally or even more dangerous than the models targeted by SB 1047 - at the potential expense of curtailing the very innovation that fuels advancement in favor of the public good."
  105. ^ "Let me be clear - I agree with the author - we cannot afford to wait for a major catastrophe to occur before taking action to protect the public. California will not abandon its responsibility. Safety protocols must be adopted. Proactive guardrails .should be implemented, and severe consequences for bad actors must be clear and enforceable."
