Driving The Day

Today is June 7, 2024, and here are the key policymaker and stakeholder actions on AI you need to know: In Washington, four Republican senators sent a letter to FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel arguing her proposal to regulate AI-generated campaign ads is “unlawful.” In California, the AI industry is pushing back against a bill working its way through the California legislature that would heavily regulate frontier model developers and require they build a “kill switch” that can quickly shut down their models. Meanwhile, shareholders rejected a proposal by an AFL-CIO index fund that would have urged Netflix to disclose information about how it uses AI in its operations.
