Verification History

AI Verified Verified. Source URL (official gov.ca.gov press release) returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search confirmed the quote verbatim: "AI is the new frontier in innovation, and California is not only here for it — but stands strong as a national leader by enacting the first-in-the-nation frontier AI safety legislation that builds public trust as this emerging technology rapidly evolves," said Governor Newsom when signing SB 53 on September 29, 2025. Correctly attributed to Gavin Newsom (Governor of California); year 2025 is recent. By signing SB 53 — which mandates reporting of critical safety incidents — Newsom endorsed exactly the kind of frontier AI safety/transparency framework at issue. The vote "for" on statement #435 ("Mandate 72-hour reporting of critical AI safety incidents to a national authority") aligns with Newsom's enactment of and support for AI safety-incident transparency requirements. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 8d ago
