What's in this week's issue?

California governor Gavin Newsom said there are 38 bills on his desk that would create laws around artificial intelligence on Tuesday, but one looms larger than all of them: SB 1047, California’s bill that tries to prevent AI systems from causing catastrophes. For the first time, California’s governor shared what he’s thinking about the controversial bill. In short, he thinks SB 1047 has problems.

Newsom said he’s interested in AI bills that can solve today’s problems without upsetting California’s booming AI industry. That’s not very promising for the future of SB 1047, which aims to protect against disasters by holding big AI vendors liable if their products are used to cause grievous harm, like bringing down critical infrastructure. At the same time, signing the bill would upset large swaths of the AI industry who want Newsom to veto the bill.

Microsoft deal to reopen nuclear plant, site of 1979 partial meltdown, to power AI

A new agreement between Microsoft and Constellation Energy Corporation to provide power to the tech giant’s data centers for artificial intelligence is paving the way for the restart of a nuclear reactor on Pennsylvania’s Three Mile Island, the site of a 1979 partial meltdown.

The Baltimore-based Constellation on Friday announced that the 20-year deal it has struck with Microsoft will create the "Crane Clean Energy Center and restart of Three Mile Island Unit 1, which operated at industry-leading levels of safety and reliability for decades before being shut down for economic reasons exactly five years ago today."
