The Center for AI Policy was recently featured in a Politico article by Jeremy B. White and Lara Korte titled "How California politics killed a nationally important AI bill." Here are two highlights from the piece:

• “[The bill] would have spurred Congress to act,” said Jason Green-Lowe, executive director at the Center for AI Policy, a nonprofit with ties to the effective altruism movement. “Now there’s even more need for Congress and the next president to take a stand on AI safety. But this California bill could have bought us some time and showed the way forward.”
