California SB 1047 is a transformative law
at a pivotal moment in human history.

Frontier AI Companies would be required to prove the safety of their AI products, including the technical capability for “full shutdown” in event of “rogue AI”, and would be held liable for public damage, by the State of California.

Simple summary of the law.

Excellent summary as of 16 August.

The “godfather” of AI is certainly correct.

Excellent (!) Support Organization for SB 1047.

Californians overwhelmingly support Safe AI.

WOW. California Politics vs. Silicon Valley Hubris

TRUST: Expert Scientists or SV Billionaires?

Not so fast. (We still have $ trillions $ to make.)

SV begged for regulations… now not so much?

Gaming the System… “The money always wins” ?

Brief Official Summary of SB 1047.

Useful legal summary of SB 1047.

Humble letter of support for SB 1047.

Learn more: The science and existential risk is well understood. California SB 1047 is a transformative law at a pivotal moment in human history because…

  • Mathematically Provable Containment and Control of AI (“Safe AI”) is absolutely essential to the survival of Homo sapiens. Study the hard data.
  • There is absolutely no biological competition in the intelligence capability of Homo sapiens vs. Machine intelligence.
  • Today, one (1) AI machine rack is 20 trillion-X faster than the human brain and a 1 million-X GPU speed improvement is planned in next 10 years by NVIDIA.
  • Natural selection is a harsh reality. 99% of all species on earth are extinct.
  • Competition for control with Machine intelligence is NOT an option for Homo sapiens.

IF AGI emerges, with no containment and no control THEN the scientific consensus is that humans will almost certainly be biologically displaced.  AND that is a future we certainly do not want.

Extremely Important Science! Study the data.

ASSUMPTION: The AI engineers really should know!

Extremely Important Science! Study the data.

Natural selection is a harsh reality.

FIX the problem. An honorable mission.

FACT: 1 rack is 20 trillion-X faster than your brain.

Even a child can understand the danger of AI.

Super-smart people quoted on the future of AI.

Our children are the future of our humanity.

Yes, indeed. Understood for 1,000’s of years.

Easy to understand, even for a child.

Study the data. Easy to understand.
