While Congress sits on its hands, California is leading the nation on AI safety. I'm issuing an executive order to accelerate third-party oversight of frontier labs and calling on world-leading experts to report back on proposals like "kill switches" for models.

In case you missed it live, Tuesday's #ElNiño-focused virtual town hall event hosted by CA Sen Mike McGuire was recorded and is now available. This was a really constructive and worthwhile event; I'd strongly encourage folks to check it out! #CAwx
