Scott Wiener: New Role in Regulating Artificial Intelligence

Scott Wiener, a former California state senator, is now positioned to influence federal AI policy after winning a tight congressional race. He highlighted a recent report from the nonprofit METR, indicating that Anthropic may have achieved recursive self-improvement, raising concerns about the risks associated with AI. Wiener has already made a significant impact on AI policy, having authored SB 1047 in 2024, which was set to be the first real frontier AI legislation before being vetoed by California's governor. He later sponsored a lighter bill, SB 53, which was signed into law and has inspired proposed federal legislation.
