"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

Because Newsom called for school districts to do just that earlier this year, there is a strong possibility that he will also sign that legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authored by Sen. Nancy Skinner (D-Berkeley), the legislation Newsom signed marks a growing effort to rein in the impact of all-encompassing technology that has revolutionized ways of communicating and brought significant benefits — but whose harmful effects on children are only now becoming clearer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is almost certainly the case that few parents, and even fewer children, are aware of the complex, and hugely effective, systems tech companies employ to keep users on their platforms, often for hours on end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Addictive feeds are generated by automated systems known as algorithms and are intended to keep users engaged by suggesting content based on groups, friends, topics or headlines they may have clicked on in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, the law would make “chronological feeds” the default setting on social media platforms accessed by children. These feeds are generated only by posts from people they follow in the order they were uploaded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Social media companies will no longer have the right to addict our kids to their platforms, sending them harmful and sensational content that our kids don’t want and haven’t searched for,” Skinner said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation follows Newsom’s signing of the \u003ca class=\"external\" href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billCompareClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB2273&showamends=false\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California Age-Appropriate Design Code Act\u003c/a> two years ago. Authored by Assemblymember Buffy Wicks (D-Oakland), it requires online platforms to consider the best interest of child users and to establish default privacy and safety settings in order to safeguard children’s mental and physical health and well-being.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law expands on previous legislation approved by Congress in 1998, the\u003ca class=\"external\" href=\"https://consumercal.org/about-cfc/cfc-education-foundation/childrens-online-privacy-protection-act-coppa/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)\u003c/a> and California’s \u003ca class=\"external\" href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_201720180ab2511\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Parent Accountability and Child Protection Act\u003c/a>(AB 2511), approved by the Legislature in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 2022 bill requires businesses with an online presence to complete a Data Protection Impact Assessment before offering new online services, products or features likely to be accessed by children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also prohibits companies that provide online services from using a child’s personal information, collecting, selling or retaining a child’s physical location, profiling a child by default, and leading or encouraging children to provide personal information.[aside postID=\"news_12005803,news_11990672,mindshift_62233\" label=\"Related Stories\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But its passage underscored the headwinds that efforts to regulate social media can run into.

It will happen just over a year after delegates at an \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/artificial-intelligence-risks-uk-summit-kamala-harris-885d09550b0ad19f7a1cdfbd6e2b910b\">AI Safety Summit\u003c/a> in the United Kingdom pledged to work together to contain the potentially catastrophic risks posed by AI advances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo told The Associated Press it will be the “first get-down-to-work meeting” after the UK summit and a May \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/south-korea-seoul-ai-summit-uk-2cc2b297872d860edc60545d5a5cf598\">follow-up in South Korea\u003c/a> that sparked a network of publicly backed safety institutes to advance research and testing of the technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the urgent topics likely to confront experts is the steady rise of AI-generated fakery but also the tricky problem of knowing when an AI system is so widely capable or dangerous that it needs guardrails.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to think about how do we work with countries to set standards as it relates to the risks of synthetic content, the risks of AI being used maliciously by malicious actors,” Raimondo said in an interview. “Because if we keep a lid on the risks, it’s incredible to think about what we could achieve.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Situated in a city that’s become a hub of the current wave of \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/hub/generative-ai\">generative AI technology\u003c/a>, the San Francisco meetings are designed as a technical collaboration on safety measures ahead of a broader AI summit set for February in Paris. It will occur about two weeks after a presidential election between Vice President Kamala Harris — \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/ai-artificial-intelligence-kamala-harris-trump-vance-1c94ba2ee6a1410e61d980faa51b19e4\">who helped craft the\u003c/a> U.S. stance on AI risks — and former President Donald Trump, who \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/ai-artificial-intelligence-kamala-harris-trump-vance-1c94ba2ee6a1410e61d980faa51b19e4\">has vowed to undo\u003c/a> Biden’s signature AI policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Raimondo and Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced that their agencies would co-host the convening, which taps into a network of newly formed national AI safety \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/biden-ai-artificial-intelligence-safety-057831b8dfb72ce6c52f5e3490f49070\">institutes in the U.S.\u003c/a> and UK, as well as Australia, Canada, France, Japan, Kenya, South Korea, Singapore and the 27-nation European Union.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The biggest AI powerhouse missing from the list of participants is China, which isn’t part of the network, though Raimondo said, “We’re still trying to figure out exactly who else might come in terms of scientists.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that there are certain risks that we are aligned in wanting to avoid, like AIs applied to nuclear weapons, AIs applied to bioterrorism,” she said. “Every country in the world ought to be able to agree that those are bad things, and we ought to be able to work together to prevent them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many governments have pledged to safeguard AI technology, but they’ve taken different approaches, with the EU the first to \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/ai-act-european-union-chatbots-155157e2be2e42d0f1acca33983d8c82\">enact a sweeping AI law\u003c/a> that sets the strongest restrictions on the riskiest applications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"forum_2010101906887,news_12004542,news_12003542\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden last October signed an executive order on AI requiring developers of the \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/measuring-ai-safety-risk-flops-california-1047-6d556799683b02aa192b821462422aa2\">most powerful AI systems\u003c/a> to share safety test results and other information with the government. It also delegated the Commerce Department to create standards to ensure AI tools are safe and secure before public release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco-based OpenAI, maker of ChatGPT, said last week that before releasing its latest model, called o1, it granted early access to the U.S. and UK national AI safety institutes. The new product goes beyond the company’s famous chatbot in being able to “perform complex reasoning” and produce a “long internal chain of thought” when answering a query and poses a “medium risk” in the category of weapons of mass destruction, the company has said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since generative AI tools began captivating the world in late 2022, the Biden administration has been pushing AI companies to commit to testing their most sophisticated models before they’re let out into the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That is the right model,” Raimondo said. “That being said, right now, it’s all voluntary. I think we probably need to move beyond a voluntary system. And we need Congress to take action.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tech companies have mostly agreed, in principle, on the need for AI regulation, but some have chafed at proposals they argue could stifle innovation. In California, Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/california-artificial-intelligence-deepfakes-election-0e70cb32b06d9187eaef5bdacaba6d77\">signed three landmark bills\u003c/a> to crack down on political deepfakes ahead of the 2024 election but has yet to sign or veto a more controversial measure that would regulate extremely powerful AI models that don’t yet exist but could pose grave risks if they’re built.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Most of us expect documentary filmmakers to be transparent about their source material, like videos, photos and newspapers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before generative AI came on the scene, it was fairly obvious when a documentary delivered a re-creation of something that happened or might have happened. Post-generative AI, nothing is necessarily obvious, and as the technology improves, it’s near-certain that fake bits in documentaries will proliferate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Archival producers, who play a crucial role in documentary filmmaking, warn there’s a clear and present danger that the fakery will muddy the historical record irrevocably. On Friday, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.archivalproducersalliance.com/\">Archival Producers Alliance\u003c/a> is releasing a set of “best practices” to keep generative AI from destroying the integrity and authenticity of documentaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The collective of more than 400 people from 25 countries specializes in archives. Many of them help filmmakers put together stories, and some are documentary filmmakers themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alliance co-director Rachel Antell of Berkeley said she hopes the new, voluntary guidelines will get Hollywood and Silicon Valley talking in a serious way about the integrity of history that belongs to all of us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The publishers — Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins Publishers, John Wiley & Sons and Penguin Random House — alleged that by doing so, the Archive illegally offered free e-books, including famous works by authors such as Sylvia Plath and Toni Morrison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Internet Archive later reinstated its waitlists and returned to its one-to-one book rental model, known as “controlled digital lending,” where a library owns a book, scans it digitally and loans the digital copy to one user at a time. The Archive owns physical copies of all of the books it lends digitally, stored in a warehouse in Richmond, California. Since the lawsuit started, however, it has had to remove more than 500,000 titles online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that the court has sided with the publishers in the appeal case, the Internet Archive is determining what direction the fight might go next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are reviewing the court’s opinion and will continue to defend the rights of libraries to own, lend, and preserve books,” Chris Freeland, director of library services at the Internet Archive, wrote online in response to the opinion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The organization in June \u003ca href=\"https://www.change.org/p/let-readers-read-an-open-letter-to-the-publishers-in-hachette-v-internet-archive\">launched an online petition\u003c/a> to restore the hundreds of thousands of titles that were removed from its online collection. As of Monday, it had 110,000 signatures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s growing by the minute,” Freeland told KQED. “The public has spoken, and they are really upset that those books are no longer available for them to borrow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12003843\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12003843\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/024_KQED_InternetArchiveWarehouse_03302023_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/024_KQED_InternetArchiveWarehouse_03302023_qed.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/024_KQED_InternetArchiveWarehouse_03302023_qed-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/024_KQED_InternetArchiveWarehouse_03302023_qed-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/024_KQED_InternetArchiveWarehouse_03302023_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/024_KQED_InternetArchiveWarehouse_03302023_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/024_KQED_InternetArchiveWarehouse_03302023_qed-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Brewster Kahle, the founder of the Internet Archive, closes a storage container with books from a county public library at an Internet Archive storage facility in Richmond on March 30, 2023. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As for legal next steps, the Archive has two pathways it may choose to take, according to Cara Gagliano, senior staff attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which is representing the Archive in court.

The publishers — Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins Publishers, John Wiley & Sons and Penguin Random House — alleged that by doing so, the Archive illegally offered free e-books, including famous works by authors such as Sylvia Plath and Toni Morrison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Internet Archive later reinstated its waitlists and returned to its one-to-one book rental model, known as “controlled digital lending,” where a library owns a book, scans it digitally and loans the digital copy to one user at a time. The Archive owns physical copies of all of the books it lends digitally, stored in a warehouse in Richmond, California. Since the lawsuit started, however, it has had to remove more than 500,000 titles online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that the court has sided with the publishers in the appeal case, the Internet Archive is determining what direction the fight might go next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are reviewing the court’s opinion and will continue to defend the rights of libraries to own, lend, and preserve books,” Chris Freeland, director of library services at the Internet Archive, wrote online in response to the opinion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>California legislators just sent Gov. Gavin Newsom more than a dozen bills regulating artificial intelligence, testing for threats to critical infrastructure, curbing the use of algorithms on children, limiting the use of deepfakes, and more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But people in and around the AI industry say the proposed laws fail to stop some of the most worrisome harms of the technology, like discrimination by businesses and government entities. At the same time, the observers say, whether passed bills get vetoed or signed into law may depend heavily on industry pressure, in particular \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/technology/2024/08/ai-regulation-showdown/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">accusations that the state is regulating itself out of competitiveness in a hot field\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Debates over the bills, and decisions by the governor on whether to sign each of them, are particularly important because California is at the epicenter of AI development, with many legislators \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11983391/meet-the-o-c-state-senator-guiding-californias-ai-regulations\">making pledges\u003c/a> this year to regulate the technology and \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/technology/2024/05/ca-eu-ai-regulation/\">put the state at the forefront\u003c/a> of protecting people from AI around the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without question, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/technology/2024/08/ai-safety-bill-california-legislature/\">Senate Bill 1047\u003c/a> got more attention than any other AI regulation bill this year — and after it \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/technology/2024/08/ai-safety-bill-california-legislature/\">passed both chambers\u003c/a> of the legislature by wide margins, industry and consumer advocates are closely watching to see whether Newsom signs it into law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Introduced by San Francisco Democratic Sen. Scott Wiener, the bill addresses huge potential threats posed by AI, requiring developers of advanced AI models to test them for their ability to enable attacks on digital and physical infrastructure and help non-experts make chemical, biological, radioactive, and nuclear weapons. It also protects whistleblowers who want to report such threats from inside tech companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what if the most concerning harms from AI are commonplace rather than apocalyptic? That’s the view of people like Alex Hanna, head of research at Distributed AI Research, a nonprofit organization created by former Google ethical AI researchers based in California. Hanna said 1047 shows how California lawmakers focused too much on existential risk and not enough on preventing specific forms of discrimination. She would much rather lawmakers consider banning the use of \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/technology/2024/06/face-recognition-technology-california/\">facial recognition in criminal investigations\u003c/a> since that application of AI has already been shown to lead to racial discrimination. She would also like to see government standards around potentially discriminatory technology adopted by contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think 1047 got the most noise for God knows what reason but they’re certainly not leading the world or trying to match what Europe has in this legislation,” she said of California’s legislators.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Bill against AI discrimination is stripped\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>One bill that did address discriminatory AI was gutted and then shelved this year. \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab2930?slug=CA_202320240AB2930\">Assembly Bill 2930\u003c/a> would have required AI developers perform impact assessments and submit them to the Civil Rights Department and would have made use of discriminatory AI illegal and subject to a $25,000 fine for each violation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The original bill sought to make use of discriminatory AI illegal in key sectors of the economy including housing, finance, insurance, and health care. But author Rebecca Bauer-Kahan, a San Ramon Democrat, yanked it after the Senate Appropriations Committee limited the bill to assessing AI in employment. That sort of discrimination is already expected to be curbed by rules that \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/technology/2024/06/workplace-ai-regulation-proposal/\">the California Civil Rights Department\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/technology/2024/03/california-ai-rules-business/\">California Privacy Protection Agency are drafting\u003c/a>. Bauer-Kahan told CalMatters she plans to put forward a stronger bill next year, adding, “We have strong anti-discrimination protections but under these systems we need more information.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Wiener’s bill, Bauer-Kahan’s was subject to lobbying by opponents in the tech industry, including Google, Meta, Microsoft and OpenAI, which hired its first lobbyist ever in Sacramento this spring. Unlike Wiener’s bill, it also attracted opposition from nearly 100 companies from a wide range of industries, including Blue Shield of California, dating app company Bumble, biotech company Genentech, and pharmaceutical company Pfizer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The failure of the AI discrimination bill is one reason there are still “gaping holes” in California’s AI regulation, according to Samantha Gordon, chief program officer at TechEquity, which lobbied in favor of the bill. Gordon, who co-organized a working group on AI with privacy, labor, and human rights groups, believes the state still needs legislation to address “ discrimination, disclosure, transparency, and which use cases deserve a ban because they have demonstrated an ability to harm people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Gordon said, the passage of Wiener’s bill marked important progress, as did the passage of \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240sb892\">Senate Bill 892,\u003c/a> which sets the standards for contracts government agencies sign for AI services. Doing so, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jtprP4tJEU&list=PL7ZZjNmMAwA2WXXJekM3qe8zKBQLGx1ya&index=2\">author and Chula Vista Democratic Sen. Steve Padilla told CalMatters earlier this year\u003c/a>, leverages the government’s buying power to encourage safer and more ethical AI services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some experts criticized Wiener’s bill for what it failed to do, the tech industry has gone after it for what it does. The measure’s testing requirements and associated enforcement mechanisms will kneecap fast-moving tech companies and create a chilling effect on code sharing that inhibits innovation, big tech companies like Google and Meta have said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given the industry’s power in California, this criticism is the proverbial elephant in the room, said Joep Meindertsma, CEO of Pause.ai. Pause.ai is a proponent of regulating AI, endorsing Wiener’s bill and even organizing protests at the offices of California-based companies including Meta and OpenAI. So Meindertsma was happy to see so many regulatory bills clear the legislature this year. But he worries they will be undermined by the tension between a desire to regulate AI and a desire to win the race — among not jut companies but entire countries — to have the best AI. Regulators in California and elsewhere, he said, want to have it both ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The market dynamic between countries that are trying to stay ahead of the competition, trying to avoid regulating their companies too much over fear of slowing down while the others keep racing, that dynamic is the issue that I feel is the most toxic in the entire situation,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are already signs that industry pressure could prevail, at least against Wiener’s bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several Democratic members of California’s Congressional delegation have called on Newsom to veto the bill. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who represents San Francisco, has also come out against it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent weeks, Newsom seems to have leaned into AI, raising questions over how much appetite he has to regulate it. The governor showed great interest in using AI to solve problems in the state of California, signing an agreement with AI powerhouse Nvidia last month, launching an \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/technology/2024/02/cdtfa-generative-ai/\">AI for tax advice pilot program in February\u003c/a>, and on Thursday introducing an AI solution aimed at connecting homeless people with services. When asked directly about Wiener’s bill in May, Newsom equivocated, saying that lawmakers must strike a balance between responding to calls for regulation and overdoing it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The sleeper hits of this year’s AI legislation\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Some bills that were more targeted — and significantly less publicized — than Wiener’s 1047 did find success in the legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240sb942?slug=CA_202320240SB942\">SB 942,\u003c/a> would require companies to supply AI detection tools at no charge to the public so they can tell the difference between AI and reality. It was introduced by Democratic Sen. Josh Becker of Menlo Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240sb896\">SB 896\u003c/a> by Democratic Sen. Bill Dodd of Napa would force government agencies to assess the risk of using generative AI and disclose when the technology is used.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other AI bills passed this legislative session are designed to protect children, including one that \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab1831\">makes it a crime to create child pornography with generative AI\u003c/a> and another that requires the makers of social media apps to \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240sb976\">turn off algorithmic curation of content\u003c/a> to users under age 18 unless they get permission from a parent or guardian. Children would instead by default see a chronological stream of recent posts from accounts they follow. The bill also limits notifications from social media apps during school hours and between midnight and 6 am.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A trio of bills passed last week aim to protect voters from deceptive audio, imagery, and video known as deepfakes. One bill \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab2839?slug=CA_202320240AB2839\">goes after individuals\u003c/a> who create or publish deceptive content made with AI and allows a judge to order an injunction requiring them to either take down the content or pay damages.\u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab2655?slug=CA_202320240AB2655\"> Another bill \u003c/a>requires large online platforms such as Facebook to \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab2655?slug=CA_202320240AB2655\">remove or label deepfakes within 72 hours\u003c/a> of a user reporting it, while yet another \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab2355?slug=CA_202320240AB2355\">requires political campaigns to disclose use of AI in advertising\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also on Newsom’s desk are bills that would require creatives to get \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab1836\">permission before using the likeness of a dead person\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab2602\">prohibit use of digital replicas\u003c/a> in some instances. Both of those bills were supported by the actors union SAG-AFTRA.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Which bills didn’t pass\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In lawmaking what fails to pass, like Bauer-Kahan’s anti AI discrimination bill, is often just as important as what advances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Case in point: \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab3211\">AB 3211\u003c/a>, which would have required AI makers to label AI-generated content. It sputtered out despite support from companies including Adobe, Microsoft, and OpenAI.

Gavin Newsom more than a dozen bills regulating artificial intelligence, testing for threats to critical infrastructure, curbing the use of algorithms on children, limiting the use of deepfakes, and more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But people in and around the AI industry say the proposed laws fail to stop some of the most worrisome harms of the technology, like discrimination by businesses and government entities. At the same time, the observers say, whether passed bills get vetoed or signed into law may depend heavily on industry pressure, in particular \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/technology/2024/08/ai-regulation-showdown/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">accusations that the state is regulating itself out of competitiveness in a hot field\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Debates over the bills, and decisions by the governor on whether to sign each of them, are particularly important because California is at the epicenter of AI development, with many legislators \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11983391/meet-the-o-c-state-senator-guiding-californias-ai-regulations\">making pledges\u003c/a> this year to regulate the technology and \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/technology/2024/05/ca-eu-ai-regulation/\">put the state at the forefront\u003c/a> of protecting people from AI around the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without question, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/technology/2024/08/ai-safety-bill-california-legislature/\">Senate Bill 1047\u003c/a> got more attention than any other AI regulation bill this year — and after it \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/technology/2024/08/ai-safety-bill-california-legislature/\">passed both chambers\u003c/a> of the legislature by wide margins, industry and consumer advocates are closely watching to see whether Newsom signs it into law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Introduced by San Francisco Democratic Sen. Scott Wiener, the bill addresses huge potential threats posed by AI, requiring developers of advanced AI models to test them for their ability to enable attacks on digital and physical infrastructure and help non-experts make chemical, biological, radioactive, and nuclear weapons. It also protects whistleblowers who want to report such threats from inside tech companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That’s the view of people like Alex Hanna, head of research at Distributed AI Research, a nonprofit organization created by former Google ethical AI researchers based in California. Hanna said 1047 shows how California lawmakers focused too much on existential risk and not enough on preventing specific forms of discrimination. She would much rather lawmakers consider banning the use of \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/technology/2024/06/face-recognition-technology-california/\">facial recognition in criminal investigations\u003c/a> since that application of AI has already been shown to lead to racial discrimination. She would also like to see government standards around potentially discriminatory technology adopted by contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think 1047 got the most noise for God knows what reason but they’re certainly not leading the world or trying to match what Europe has in this legislation,” she said of California’s legislators.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Bill against AI discrimination is stripped\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>One bill that did address discriminatory AI was gutted and then shelved this year. \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab2930?slug=CA_202320240AB2930\">Assembly Bill 2930\u003c/a> would have required AI developers perform impact assessments and submit them to the Civil Rights Department and would have made use of discriminatory AI illegal and subject to a $25,000 fine for each violation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The original bill sought to make use of discriminatory AI illegal in key sectors of the economy including housing, finance, insurance, and health care. But author Rebecca Bauer-Kahan, a San Ramon Democrat, yanked it after the Senate Appropriations Committee limited the bill to assessing AI in employment. That sort of discrimination is already expected to be curbed by rules that \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/technology/2024/06/workplace-ai-regulation-proposal/\">the California Civil Rights Department\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/technology/2024/03/california-ai-rules-business/\">California Privacy Protection Agency are drafting\u003c/a>. Bauer-Kahan told CalMatters she plans to put forward a stronger bill next year, adding, “We have strong anti-discrimination protections but under these systems we need more information.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Wiener’s bill, Bauer-Kahan’s was subject to lobbying by opponents in the tech industry, including Google, Meta, Microsoft and OpenAI, which hired its first lobbyist ever in Sacramento this spring. Unlike Wiener’s bill, it also attracted opposition from nearly 100 companies from a wide range of industries, including Blue Shield of California, dating app company Bumble, biotech company Genentech, and pharmaceutical company Pfizer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The failure of the AI discrimination bill is one reason there are still “gaping holes” in California’s AI regulation, according to Samantha Gordon, chief program officer at TechEquity, which lobbied in favor of the bill. Gordon, who co-organized a working group on AI with privacy, labor, and human rights groups, believes the state still needs legislation to address “ discrimination, disclosure, transparency, and which use cases deserve a ban because they have demonstrated an ability to harm people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Gordon said, the passage of Wiener’s bill marked important progress, as did the passage of \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240sb892\">Senate Bill 892,\u003c/a> which sets the standards for contracts government agencies sign for AI services. Doing so, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jtprP4tJEU&list=PL7ZZjNmMAwA2WXXJekM3qe8zKBQLGx1ya&index=2\">author and Chula Vista Democratic Sen. Steve Padilla told CalMatters earlier this year\u003c/a>, leverages the government’s buying power to encourage safer and more ethical AI services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some experts criticized Wiener’s bill for what it failed to do, the tech industry has gone after it for what it does. The measure’s testing requirements and associated enforcement mechanisms will kneecap fast-moving tech companies and create a chilling effect on code sharing that inhibits innovation, big tech companies like Google and Meta have said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given the industry’s power in California, this criticism is the proverbial elephant in the room, said Joep Meindertsma, CEO of Pause.ai. Pause.ai is a proponent of regulating AI, endorsing Wiener’s bill and even organizing protests at the offices of California-based companies including Meta and OpenAI. So Meindertsma was happy to see so many regulatory bills clear the legislature this year. But he worries they will be undermined by the tension between a desire to regulate AI and a desire to win the race — among not jut companies but entire countries — to have the best AI. Regulators in California and elsewhere, he said, want to have it both ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The market dynamic between countries that are trying to stay ahead of the competition, trying to avoid regulating their companies too much over fear of slowing down while the others keep racing, that dynamic is the issue that I feel is the most toxic in the entire situation,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are already signs that industry pressure could prevail, at least against Wiener’s bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several Democratic members of California’s Congressional delegation have called on Newsom to veto the bill. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who represents San Francisco, has also come out against it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent weeks, Newsom seems to have leaned into AI, raising questions over how much appetite he has to regulate it. The governor showed great interest in using AI to solve problems in the state of California, signing an agreement with AI powerhouse Nvidia last month, launching an \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/technology/2024/02/cdtfa-generative-ai/\">AI for tax advice pilot program in February\u003c/a>, and on Thursday introducing an AI solution aimed at connecting homeless people with services. When asked directly about Wiener’s bill in May, Newsom equivocated, saying that lawmakers must strike a balance between responding to calls for regulation and overdoing it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The sleeper hits of this year’s AI legislation\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Some bills that were more targeted — and significantly less publicized — than Wiener’s 1047 did find success in the legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240sb942?slug=CA_202320240SB942\">SB 942,\u003c/a> would require companies to supply AI detection tools at no charge to the public so they can tell the difference between AI and reality. It was introduced by Democratic Sen. Josh Becker of Menlo Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240sb896\">SB 896\u003c/a> by Democratic Sen. Bill Dodd of Napa would force government agencies to assess the risk of using generative AI and disclose when the technology is used.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other AI bills passed this legislative session are designed to protect children, including one that \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab1831\">makes it a crime to create child pornography with generative AI\u003c/a> and another that requires the makers of social media apps to \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240sb976\">turn off algorithmic curation of content\u003c/a> to users under age 18 unless they get permission from a parent or guardian. Children would instead by default see a chronological stream of recent posts from accounts they follow. The bill also limits notifications from social media apps during school hours and between midnight and 6 am.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A trio of bills passed last week aim to protect voters from deceptive audio, imagery, and video known as deepfakes. One bill \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab2839?slug=CA_202320240AB2839\">goes after individuals\u003c/a> who create or publish deceptive content made with AI and allows a judge to order an injunction requiring them to either take down the content or pay damages.\u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab2655?slug=CA_202320240AB2655\"> Another bill \u003c/a>requires large online platforms such as Facebook to \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab2655?slug=CA_202320240AB2655\">remove or label deepfakes within 72 hours\u003c/a> of a user reporting it, while yet another \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab2355?slug=CA_202320240AB2355\">requires political campaigns to disclose use of AI in advertising\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also on Newsom’s desk are bills that would require creatives to get \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab1836\">permission before using the likeness of a dead person\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab2602\">prohibit use of digital replicas\u003c/a> in some instances. Both of those bills were supported by the actors union SAG-AFTRA.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Which bills didn’t pass\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In lawmaking what fails to pass, like Bauer-Kahan’s anti AI discrimination bill, is often just as important as what advances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Case in point: \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab3211\">AB 3211\u003c/a>, which would have required AI makers to label AI-generated content. It sputtered out despite support from companies including Adobe, Microsoft, and OpenAI. In a statement\u003ca href=\"https://x.com/BuffyWicks/status/1831095971566248441\"> shared in social media on Tuesday\u003c/a>, bill author Democratic Assemblymember Buffy Wicks of Oakland said it’s unfortunate that the California Senate did not take up her bill that “was model policy for the rest of the nation.” She said she plans to reintroduce it next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The labeling bill and Bauer-Kahan’s bill are two of three measures flagged as key by European Union officials who advised California lawmakers behind the scenes to adopt AI regulation in line with the EU’s AI Act, which took five years to create and went into effect this spring.

On Thursday, Thao reported that although the Oakland Police Department’s response rate is still significantly below California standards, it is increasing staffing and making the first major upgrade to its computer-aided dispatch in decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are only going to see our call times actually improve,” Thao said at a press conference on Thursday. “They’ll be a positive impact, that 51% [of calls answered in 15 seconds] will increase. And, of course, our goal is to meet the state standard.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal OES mandates that 90% of dispatch calls be answered within 15 seconds and 95% within 20.

On Thursday, Thao reported that although the Oakland Police Department’s response rate is still significantly below California standards, it is increasing staffing and making the first major upgrade to its computer-aided dispatch in decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are only going to see our call times actually improve,” Thao said at a press conference on Thursday. “They’ll be a positive impact, that 51% [of calls answered in 15 seconds] will increase. And, of course, our goal is to meet the state standard.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal OES mandates that 90% of dispatch calls be answered within 15 seconds and 95% within 20.

During the deadly 2018 Camp Fire in California, authorities issued evacuation orders through Butte County’s emergency alerts, door-knocking, vehicle-mounted speakers, and social media posts — but did not send any WEAs. At the time, fewer than 40% of residents in \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/environment/2019/10/paradise-california-camp-fire-anniversary-cleanup/\">Paradise, one of the towns destroyed in the fire\u003c/a>, had signed up for the county’s alerts, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/TechnicalNotes/NIST.TN.2252.pdf\">2023 report (PDF)\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to \u003ca href=\"https://riversideca.gov/readyriverside/be-informed/alerts-warnings/alerts-warnings\">Riverside County’s alerts and warnings page\u003c/a>, “Wireless Emergency Alerts are important, but some of the most locally-specific and timely information can come from opt-in mass notification services like RiversideAlert.” Although some of these systems automatically enroll landline numbers, Californians must opt in to receive notifications on their mobile devices or via email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is no standardized emergency alert system across the United States; the enrollment process and your notification system’s features differ based on where you live. Different governments’ mass notification systems may include different types of alerts. Some only notify you in extreme situations, such as disaster evacuations, while others may also send alerts for missing persons or police activity. Note what kind of alerts your local system offers before signing up, and keep in mind you can often choose what type of alerts you’d like to receive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_11999982,news_11971374,news_11834901\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Users will typically be asked to provide their mobile number, email, and street address. Many emergency alert systems have the option to register multiple street addresses, allowing you to keep tabs on other significant locations like your workplace or kids’ schools. Some also allow you to customize whether you’d like to receive alerts via phone call, text message, or email and offer language and accessibility options. If customization options are not offered during initial enrollment, you may be able to log in after enrolling to change your settings and add additional information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Emergency alert systems are often run through third parties. Common ones include OnSolve CodeRED, Everbridge, Rave Mobile Safety’s Smart 911, and Genasys.

Daniel Gutiérrez, Project Manager at Listos California, said that the office relies on counties to reach out when they change alert systems. This may occasionally lead to the tool providing outdated information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Signing up for emergency alerts is a crucial first step in preparing for a natural disaster, but it’s not the last. Alerts delivered via phone or email rely on some combination of phone service, internet, and power, all of which could go down during a natural disaster. Government agencies, however, have also used non-electronic emergency alerts for a long time, including door-to-door knocking or vehicle-mounted speakers. But you may find yourself in a position where you need to evacuate an area before an official order has even been issued. So don’t forget to develop a comprehensive \u003ca href=\"https://www.ready.gov/plan\">disaster plan\u003c/a> and review it with your household.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
