Scott Wiener wins Pelosi's San Francisco House seat, vows binding federal AI rules
What happened
Scott Wiener pushed California's AI bill SB 1047, which the governor vetoed in 2024; the milder SB 53 was later signed. According to a November 10 report, Wiener won the San Francisco congressional seat vacated by Nancy Pelosi and said he will push for federal AI regulation with real teeth. He backs a strong federal regulator, whistleblower protections, testing and audits, and an emergency stop switch, and opposes broad federal preemption of state AI laws. He is only cautiously optimistic about Congress's ability to constrain AI.

- MIT Technology Review · AINancy Pelosi’s replacement is ready to regulate AI
Scott Wiener赢得Nancy Pelosi空出的旧金山国会席位后，表示将推动有实质约束力的联邦AI监管。他支持设立强有力的联邦监管机构、保护举报人、要求测试与审计及设置紧急停止开关，并反对联邦法律广泛排除州级AI立法。他此前推动的SB 1047在2024年被加州州长否决，随后力度较温和的SB 53获签署；他对国会约束AI的能力仅持谨慎乐观态度。
