Free Software Foundation criticizes Newsom's AI executive order

Original: FSF comments on Newsom's executive order on so-called artificial intelligence — Free Software Foundation — Working toget

The Free Software Foundation has published its response to California Governor Gavin Newsom's executive order on artificial intelligence, which it refers to as 'so-called' AI. The group questions the feasibility and accountability of any mandated kill switch for AI systems, asking who would really control such a mechanism if it were developed. The FSF warns that safety controls could concentrate power in the hands of a few rather than serving the public.

Why now: Newsom's executive order on AI is drawing scrutiny from digital rights and free software advocates concerned about control and accountability.
