An expert panel will propose stricter safety rules for advanced AI systems, including a potential emergency shutoff, under a new executive order from California Governor Gavin Newsom. The group will evaluate embedding independent safety organizations inside AI labs and utilizing third parties to verify risk reports and model evaluations.
The mandate sets a 60 day deadline to boost security laws and accelerates a California law creating the first independent oversight of AI companies in the U.S. The order directs the state to continuously test whether any proposed 'kill switch' for frontier models works and expands the criteria for critical safety incidents.
