The "SB-1047 Safe and Secure Innovation for Frontier Artificial Intelligence Models Act" is scheduled to be voted on by the California General Assembly in August 2024, and if passed should be signed or vetoed by the governor before the end of September.

The bill contains a requirement for the publishers of large AI models to include a "kill switch": a capability to stop the model completely if it is deemed dangerous. This requirement can be interpreted as basically banning open source distribution of the models.

Will the bill be turned into law before October 1st 2024, including this specific requirement?

Update from 2024-08-23: There has been some discussion in the comments regarding whether the original text of the bill actually blocked releasing model weights. In any case, I just want to confirm that if the bill doesn't require shutting down the derivative models that you don't control, I'll resolve as NO.
