Comment by Thomas Woodside
Secure AI Project co-founder
The California Report on Frontier AI Policy acknowledged that ‘if those whose analysis points to the most extreme risks are right…then the stakes and costs for inaction on frontier AI at this current moment are extremely high,’ [...] Thanks to Senator Wiener’s tireless work and Governor Newsom’s leadership, California has taken a major step towards recognizing those stakes. Much work remains to be done, but this will be remembered as a foundational moment.AI Verified source (Sep 29, 2025)

Verified. The provided California State Senate press release at the stored source URL is dated September 29, 2025, and it contains this wording verbatim, attributed to “Thomas Woodside, Co-Founder and Senior Policy Advisor at Secure AI Project.” The [...] omission only removes the in-line attribution between two quoted sentences; the quoted words themselves match the source.

The Sept. 29, 2025 press release on Sen. Scott Wiener’s site does attribute a very close statement to Thomas Woodside, and the California report contains the embedded risk line. But the submitted block is not verbatim as printed there: the page inserts "said Thomas Woodside..." between the two quoted sentences, uses slightly different punctuation/spacing, and Woodside’s statement continues with an additional sentence. So it is authentic in substance, but not exact as given.

Verified. Source URL (Senator Wiener's official Senate page sd11.senate.ca.gov) returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search confirmed the quote verbatim and its attribution. Thomas Woodside, Co-Founder and Senior Policy Advisor at Secure AI Project, stated in the SB 53 signing press release: the California Report on Frontier AI Policy acknowledged that "if those whose analysis points to the most extreme risks are right… then the stakes and costs for inaction on frontier AI at this current moment are extremely high," and credited Senator Wiener and Governor Newsom for taking a major step toward recognizing those stakes. Correctly attributed; year 2025 is recent; the [...] elision matches the allowed convention. SB 53 includes mandatory critical safety incident reporting. The vote "for" on statement #435 ("Mandate 72-hour reporting of critical AI safety incidents to a national authority") aligns with Woodside's strong support for frontier AI safety guardrails and his warning about the high costs of inaction.
