SB 1047: Where From Here?

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed SB 1047 – a good outcome for the nascent AI industry.

In his veto message, Gov. Newsom indicated California is continuing to evaluate appropriate guardrails for generative AI through a consultation with a trio of experts – what can we expect from them?
Newsom signaled that regulations must focus on specific harms – what can we learn from the 17 bills he signed in the past month?
What does all of this mean for other states legislating AI safety?

Join us for a conversation with Tom Kemp, Silicon Valley-based entrepreneur and policy advisor, Ryan Harkins, Senior Director of Public Policy at Microsoft, and Orrick’s Shannon Yavorsky and Jeremy Kudon to understand the most powerful landscape for GenAI regulation today: the 50 States!

Jeremy Kudon Partner

New York

No other group in the United States - whether at a law firm, public affairs firm, or inside the Beltway - can match Jeremy and Orrick's record of success in the state legislatures. Unlike others, who specialize in tracking bills, identifying contract lobbyists (and taking a % of their fee), or developing expensive media and PR campaigns, Jeremy and his team don't specialize in any one area of state government affairs; they specialize in EVERYTHING. They learn your business, work with you on your objectives--both overall and in the state legislatures, identify threats/opportunities, develop a budget, hire contract lobbyists, draft legislation, prepare advocacy pieces, attend legislative conferences, travel to state capitols and educate members about your issue, testify before committees, develop and implement grassroots and PR campaigns, coordinate roll calls, and coordinate every aspect of both the state and overall campaign to add the most possible value to your business.

Just listen to what the media and our clients have to say – The New York Times profiled our efforts in passing online sports betting and daily fantasy sports legislation in an extensive above-the-fold report and in an episode of their podcast, “The Daily.” And from an interview with TechCruch, DraftKings CEO Jason Robins said Jeremy and Orrick’s Public Policy team have “helped us go from a tech company that didn’t know a whole lot about legislative affairs and regulation to really being sophisticated there” and praised that “For anyone who’s in a disruptive industry and might be regulated, they really did a fantastic job.”
