Verified. Scott Wiener’s official California Senate press release dated August 21, 2024 contains the passages “performing a safety evaluation for foreseeable risks on massively powerful AI models before releasing them” and later “test their large models for catastrophic safety risk. We’ve worked hard all year, with open source advocates...” The submitted quote is a faithful ellipsis excerpt from that statement and is correctly attributed to Wiener.
