“This coalition looks like California, because Prop 45 is about a problem every single Californian feels: addressing our high cost of living,” said @CalChamberJen, president and CEO of the California Chamber of Commerce. “Prop 45 will cut the years of unnecessary delay standing between families and the housing, clean energy and water infrastructure we need. That’s the kind of common ground California needs right now.” calchamberalert.com/2026/09/… #Prop45 #YesOnProp45 @YesProp45CA

.@CalChamber President & CEO Jennifer Barrera @CalChamberJen today issued the following statement following @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom’s veto of #SB1047: “We are grateful to Governor Newsom for the veto of SB 1047. Regulatory efforts to promote #AI safety are critical, but SB 1047 missed the mark in key ways. As a consequence, the bill would have stifled AI innovation, putting California’s place as the global hub of innovation at tremendous risk. “CalChamber understands that work to properly regulate and harness the power of AI technology is in its infancy and next year more work will be underway to create new standards. As policy makers embark on these efforts in 2025, we urge them to remain centered on key principles that include creating laws and regulations that operate with clear and consistent definitions, and are informed by people with deep expertise in this emerging field. New policies should conform to national standards and be informed by computer scientists to ensure technological feasibility. In addition, there needs to be robust enforcement and monitoring of already-illegal uses of AI since many of the worst cases are already prohibited by law. “CalChamber stands ready to partner with the Legislature and Governor in future efforts to ensure the safety and transparency of frontier AI models.” advocacy.calchamber.com/2024…
