AI capabilities are advancing at extraordinary pace. How societies manage the tension between the technology's extraordinary potential and its novel risks depends on policy design choices being made now. Last year, California led the way on frontier AI policy in the United States with the passage of SB-53. The effort to govern the technology well, however, is only beginning. To help meet the moment, Carnegie California will publish a new report this summer that brings together a distinguished group of scholars to address the design questions at the heart of frontier AI governance today. It offers rigorous, evidence-based analysis to help policymakers navigate the most important design trade-offs shaping frontier AI governance — in California and in the growing number of jurisdictions reckoning with similar questions. Stay tuned for the forthcoming report from Mariano-Florentino (Tino) Cuéllar, Scott S., and Ian Klaus.
