The passage of the Safe and Secure Innovation for Frontier Artificial Intelligence Models Act is generating uproar among developers, many of whom run their operations out of the state, arguing that it could critically stifle innovation. Supporters of the bill, however, believe the rapidly evolving technology requires guardrails and the legislation is a reasonable—if limited and imperfect—first step toward legally enshrining safety best practices.
