California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday issued an executive order to "dramatically accelerate independent oversight of AI companies and advance the creation of an 'AI kill switch'" as concerns about whether humanity will be able to contain the technology dominate the public debate.
"The federal government's abject failure to create any form of meaningful AI oversight or accountability should alarm every American, especially when AI CEOs themselves are begging for regulation," Newsom said in a statement.
