Governor Newsom's signature on SB 53 establishes meaningful transparency requirements for frontier AI companies without imposing prescriptive technical mandates. While federal standards remain essential to avoid a patchwork of state regulations, California has created a strong framework that balances public safety with continued innovation.

Verified. Source URL (NBC News) returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search confirmed the quote verbatim and its attribution. Jack Clark, Anthropic's co-founder and head of policy, stated: "Governor Newsom's signature on SB 53 establishes meaningful transparency requirements for frontier AI companies without imposing prescriptive technical mandates. While federal standards remain essential to avoid a patchwork of state regulations, California has created a strong framework that balances public safety with continued innovation." Correctly attributed; year 2025 is recent. SB 53 (the Transparency in Frontier AI Act) includes mandatory reporting of critical safety incidents, and Clark explicitly endorses both the transparency framework and the need for federal standards. The vote "for" on statement #435 ("Mandate 72-hour reporting of critical AI safety incidents to a national authority") aligns with Clark's clear support for safety-incident transparency requirements and a national/federal reporting framework.
