The billionaire owner of Tesla and X voiced his support for California's SB 1047 bill on Monday night, but several of his larger industry rivals remain opposed. The bill would establish safety standards for AI models that cost more than $100 million to train, require safety testing of so-called “frontier” AI models before they are released, and establish other guardrails.
