In an effort to help Black families reclaim or receive compensation for property unjustly taken by the government, California Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill on Wednesday.

Police are meant to serve and protect the public, not wage war against them,” the ACLU said in a statement critical of the veto.

California’s Safe and Secure Innovation for Frontier Artificial Intelligence Models Act, currently with Governor Newsom awaiting his signature, requires that developers of the most powerful AI systems write and follow safety and security protocols to prevent critical harm.
