California to impose new AI regulations in defiance of Trump call

California's governor signed an executive order requiring AI companies that want to do business with the state to meet new safety standards, including preventing the spread of harmful content, reducing bias (harmful patterns in AI decision-making), and being transparent about their practices. This move contradicts the federal government's call for less regulation, as California joins other states in passing over 100 laws to protect children and intellectual property from AI misuse.
