AI Verified Verified. Source URL (Senator Wiener's official sd11.senate.ca.gov page) returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search confirmed the quote verbatim: "With a technology as transformative as AI, we have a responsibility to support that innovation while putting in place commonsense guardrails to understand and reduce risk. With this law, California is stepping up, once again, as a global leader on both technology innovation and safety." Correctly attributed to State Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), the author of SB 53; year 2025 is recent. SB 53 mandates reporting of critical safety incidents. The vote "for" on statement #435 ("Mandate 72-hour reporting of critical AI safety incidents to a national authority") aligns directly with Wiener's authorship of and advocacy for AI safety guardrails including incident reporting. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 8d ago
