California Sends AI Safety Lawmaker to Congress

TLDR

Scott Wiener has won Nancy Pelosi’s open San Francisco House seat and wants a federal AI regulator, whistleblower protections and rules requiring testing, auditing and a kill switch. He also opposes broad federal overrides of state AI laws. The agenda isn’t shy, but Wiener is only “cautiously optimistic” about Congress’s ability to rein in AI.
