California moves toward a kill switch for the most advanced AI

Governor of California· 18 Sep

Governor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order on 18 September telling California to consult experts on tightening its AI safety laws. Options named include placing independent monitors inside top AI labs and requiring a kill switch that shuts the most advanced models down automatically. Recommendations are due within two months. It targets frontier labs, not everyday tools.

  • No action needed for everyday AI tools. This is aimed at the labs building frontier models.
  • If you sell into California, watch for disclosure rules that could reach vendors you use.
