An open letter to State Governors (Calif. only)

Sign SB1047 for Common Sense AI Safety

183 so far! Help us get to 250 signers!

I'm writing about SB 1047, a crucial piece of legislation which ensures responsible AI development, much like how we expect standards in medicine and aviation. The bill requires huge AI companies to test for dangerous capabilities, implement safeguards, and protect whistleblowers. The urgency is clear. OpenAI just raised risk levels for chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear dangers with their new model. We need common-sense rules to address these rapidly evolving risks. More than a hundred employees of frontier AI companies asked Governor Newsom to sign SB 1047, warning that risks like cyberattacks and pandemics could happen soon. So have the two most cited AI scientists of all time. This bill has broad public support. 77% of Californians support these measures. It is supported by civil society groups like the Latino Community Foundation and the National Organization for Women, tech groups like Accountable Tech and Encode Justice, and labor unions like the SEIU and SAG AFTRA. Governor Newsom, this is your chance to make history and lead in responsible AI development. By supporting SB 1047, you can protect Californians from urgent AI-related risks and set a national precedent for AI regulation. The time to act is now. Let's ensure AI development prioritizes public safety and ethics. I urge you to support and sign SB 1047 into law.
