Bill > SB607

This bill would explicitly authorize artificial intelligence as a field of study for the University of California's California Institutes for Science and Innovation, which are established to combine research, training, and education in science and technology. Additionally, the bill proposes the creation of the California Foundation for Science and Health Research within the Government Operations Agency, funded by a proposed $23 billion bond act to be approved by voters. This foundation would award grants and loans for scientific and health research in areas like biomedical, behavioral, and climate research, overseen by a council that would set strategic objectives and approve funding through a competitive, peer-reviewed process. All funded research would be required to adhere to standards of open scientific exchange and public oversight.
