#SB53 allows for the creation of #CalCompute, opening up #AI computing power that’s long been locked up by just a few Big Tech corporations. 3/

#AB325 and #SB53 are officially CALIFORNIA LAW.

As of Jan 1, CA has strengthened protections against algorithmic price-fixing, authorized #CalCompute to broaden access to #AI infrastructure, and put transparency and safety rules in place. This is what standing up for a fair economy looks like. 1/

2/ California is home to the world’s leading AI companies and researchers, but the vast majority of computing power in large models is run and decided by just a handful of billionaire CEOs. This is where #CalCompute could change the game in AI development.

🚨The future of AI is being decided TODAY in the CA Assembly Privacy Committee. Our CA Director Teri Olle is testifying in support of #SB53 to create CalCompute, a public cloud that democratizes access to AI development. Let’s build an AI future that works for everyone. #CalCompute

CA is charting a new path—with bold efforts like #CalCompute, a publicly owned and operated computing cluster that would democratize A.I. access – giving researchers, startups, and public institutions the tools they need to innovate responsibly and for the public good. 2/2

We’re proud to partner with Senator @scottwiener.bsky.social on #SB53, legislation that would create #CalCompute - a public option for cloud computing. This is the type of gov’t investment we need to ensure AI is developed for the public good, not the interest of Big Tech.
