Newsom vetos 'well-intentioned' AI safety bill

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) vetoed a bill that would have established sweeping regulations on artificial intelligence, but he vowed to push forward with crafting a law putting guardrails on the emerging technology.

Newsom announced the veto on Sunday but touted other efforts the state has made to combat the misuse of AI. In his veto statement explaining why he declined to sign the bill into law, he said it is not the best way to protect from threats posed by AI.
