If people opt out of interacting with an AI model, businesses cannot discriminate against people for that choice.

The vote, which took place in Oakland, continues a process that started in November 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed rules seek to create guidelines for the many areas in which AI and personal data can influence the lives of Californians: job compensation, demotion, and opportunity; housing, insurance, health care, and student expulsion. For example, under the rules, if an employer wanted to use AI to make predictions about a person’s emotional state or personality during a job interview, a job candidate could opt out without fear of discrimination for choosing to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the rules advanced on Friday, businesses must notify people before using AI. If people opt out of interacting with an AI model, businesses cannot discriminate against people for that choice. If people agree to use an AI service or tool, businesses must respond to requests by individuals about how they use their personal information to make predictions. The rules would also require employers or third-party contractors to carry out risk assessments to evaluate the performance of their technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed rules would affect any company making more than $25 million in annual revenue or processing the personal data of more than 100,000 Californians.

In recent years, half a dozen cities, from Oakland and Berkeley in the Bay Area to San Diego in southern California, have adopted similar policies, but efforts are underway to reduce those powers. In December 2023, San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria \u003ca href=\"https://www.kpbs.org/news/public-safety/2023/12/22/gloria-pushes-for-substantial-changes-to-san-diegos-surveillance-technology-rules\">proposed\u003c/a> amendments that civil liberty advocates argue water down surveillance technology oversight.

That bill would enable unarmed drone donations from the US military to state and local law enforcement agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco set a standard for civil liberties protections when it passed a law that makes public comment and local governing body approval of new police uses of surveillance technology, Hussain said. She said that if Proposition E passes, it has implications in other parts of California where lawmakers may consider a policy that puts unilateral decision-making power about tech adoption in the hands of police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pendulum has swung toward public oversight in recent years and rightfully so, said Yes on Proposition E spokesperson Joe Arellano, but people are fed up with seeing small businesses get burglarized. He said Proposition E gives police the power to initiate the pursuit of people accused of committing property crimes but doesn’t make it a mandate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police currently have the discretion to pursue any suspect deemed a risk to public safety regardless of the crime they’re suspected of committing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our officers are highly trained and should be trusted to make smart decisions about these incidents,” Arellano said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reggie Jones-Sawyer, the Democrat assembly member from Los Angeles and \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2023/08/california-legislature-jones-sawyer/\">chair of the public safety committee,\u003c/a> said measures like Proposition E could have unintended consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You could implement this [Prop.

By comparison, 28 car chases a year occurred on average from 2018 to 2022. There was also a higher-than-average number of injuries and deaths last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now Proposition E, which is supported \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcbayarea.com/decision-2024/san-francisco-mayor-london-breed-prop-e/3434049/\">by San Francisco Mayor London Breed\u003c/a> and bankrolled with more than \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/march-2024-prop-e-tech-money-conway-larsen-police-18570659.php\">$300,000 from tech tycoons\u003c/a>, asks voters to change vehicle pursuit policy to allow police to chase suspects for misdemeanor crimes and use drones along with or in lieu of vehicular pursuits. Police in many major cities limit pursuits to violent crimes and suspects who pose a serious threat to public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>High-speed vehicle pursuits resulted in 56 collisions from 2018 to 2022 in San Francisco. Forty percent of chases resulted in a collision, and 1 in 6 chases resulted in an injury to a suspect driver, police officer, or bystander, according to the California Highway Patrol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vehicle pursuits of suspects led to 52 deaths statewide in 2021, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.chp.ca.gov/Documents/2022%20Police%20Pursuits%20Report%20to%20the%20Legislature%203.pdf\">highway patrol report\u003c/a>, and roughly 1 in 3 crashes involving police pursuit of a suspect resulted in an injury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters say drones can play a role in high-speed vehicle pursuits and possibly reduce injuries to bystanders and police officers by reducing the number of police vehicles involved. The ACLU and other groups that oppose Proposition E say it guts hard-won reforms and endangers the public, officers, and suspects by authorizing high-speed chases for low-level crimes in one of the densest cities in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cagle says he wants proof that drone involvement in police car chases won’t make things worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The idea of having drivers flee police cars as well as having to look over the shoulder to figure out where the police drone is as well doesn’t seem like a recipe for safer police car chases or public safety generally for pedestrians and people in the city,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/documents/eye-in-the-sky-policing-needs-strict-limits\">2023 ACLU report\u003c/a> found that more than 1,400 police departments in the U.S. use drones today and that drone-as-a-first-responder programs are on the rise. In 2017, the Chula Vista Police Department in San Diego was the \u003ca href=\"https://venturebeat.com/ai/drones-are-changing-the-way-police-respond-to-911-calls/\">first in the nation\u003c/a> to receive a federal aviation administration exemption allowing drones to operate outside of the sight range of their pilots. So far this year, the Chula Vista Police Department has sent drones in response to roughly a quarter of 911 calls for service. Elsewhere in California, police in \u003ca href=\"https://www.fremont.gov/government/citywide-initiatives/public-safety-initiatives/drone-as-first-responders-dfr\">Fremont\u003c/a>, San Pablo, and Santa Monica are exploring drone-as-a-first-responder programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The claim that drones can stop high-speed vehicle pursuits features prominently in promotional material distributed by companies that sell drones to police. At a debut in San Francisco’s Marina District last fall, \u003ca href=\"https://www.wired.com/story/new-autonomous-drone-for-cops-can-track-you-in-the-dark/\">Skydio introduced X-10\u003c/a>, a drone that can fly in the dark at speeds of 45 miles per hour. Once X-10 locks on a target, the drone can follow people and vehicles from high in the air, so speed isn’t as much of a factor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Skydio CEO Adam Bry discussed ongoing efforts to enable drone-as-a-first-responder programs in other U.S. cities, including New York, where vehicle pursuits are on the rise and police envision autonomous drone deployments. Skydio partners with Axon, a company whose AI ethics oversight board resigned in protest following a pitch for autonomous Taser-mounted drones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Highway Patrol \u003ca href=\"https://www.chp.ca.gov/Documents/2022%20Police%20Pursuits%20Report%20to%20the%20Legislature%203.pdf\">found\u003c/a> that suspect apprehension is more likely with aerial support. In Los Angeles, police prioritize air support from helicopters when considering whether to pursue a fleeing suspect or known risk to public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But an LAPD review ordered last year by the Board of Police Commissioners following a rise in injuries found that 1 in 4 vehicle pursuits end in a collision, and half of the people injured are bystanders. Los Angeles allows high-speed pursuits for misdemeanors, as Proposition E would allow in San Francisco. San Francisco Chief Bill Scott told the police commission the department is developing a drone use policy but currently does not use drones or helicopters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same meeting, Department of Police Accountability Policy Director Janelle Caywood evaluated the department’s vehicle pursuit policy and compiled a report on vehicle pursuit best practices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She called the current vehicle pursuit policy average compared to other U.S. cities. She also noted that injuries and deaths are on the rise in some major cities.

In recent years, half a dozen cities, from Oakland and Berkeley in the Bay Area to San Diego in southern California, have adopted similar policies, but efforts are underway to reduce those powers. In December 2023, San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria \u003ca href=\"https://www.kpbs.org/news/public-safety/2023/12/22/gloria-pushes-for-substantial-changes-to-san-diegos-surveillance-technology-rules\">proposed\u003c/a> amendments that civil liberty advocates argue water down surveillance technology oversight.

Forty percent of chases resulted in a collision, and 1 in 6 chases resulted in an injury to a suspect driver, police officer, or bystander, according to the California Highway Patrol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vehicle pursuits of suspects led to 52 deaths statewide in 2021, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.chp.ca.gov/Documents/2022%20Police%20Pursuits%20Report%20to%20the%20Legislature%203.pdf\">highway patrol report\u003c/a>, and roughly 1 in 3 crashes involving police pursuit of a suspect resulted in an injury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters say drones can play a role in high-speed vehicle pursuits and possibly reduce injuries to bystanders and police officers by reducing the number of police vehicles involved. The ACLU and other groups that oppose Proposition E say it guts hard-won reforms and endangers the public, officers, and suspects by authorizing high-speed chases for low-level crimes in one of the densest cities in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cagle says he wants proof that drone involvement in police car chases won’t make things worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The idea of having drivers flee police cars as well as having to look over the shoulder to figure out where the police drone is as well doesn’t seem like a recipe for safer police car chases or public safety generally for pedestrians and people in the city,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/documents/eye-in-the-sky-policing-needs-strict-limits\">2023 ACLU report\u003c/a> found that more than 1,400 police departments in the U.S. use drones today and that drone-as-a-first-responder programs are on the rise. In 2017, the Chula Vista Police Department in San Diego was the \u003ca href=\"https://venturebeat.com/ai/drones-are-changing-the-way-police-respond-to-911-calls/\">first in the nation\u003c/a> to receive a federal aviation administration exemption allowing drones to operate outside of the sight range of their pilots. So far this year, the Chula Vista Police Department has sent drones in response to roughly a quarter of 911 calls for service. Elsewhere in California, police in \u003ca href=\"https://www.fremont.gov/government/citywide-initiatives/public-safety-initiatives/drone-as-first-responders-dfr\">Fremont\u003c/a>, San Pablo, and Santa Monica are exploring drone-as-a-first-responder programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The claim that drones can stop high-speed vehicle pursuits features prominently in promotional material distributed by companies that sell drones to police. At a debut in San Francisco’s Marina District last fall, \u003ca href=\"https://www.wired.com/story/new-autonomous-drone-for-cops-can-track-you-in-the-dark/\">Skydio introduced X-10\u003c/a>, a drone that can fly in the dark at speeds of 45 miles per hour. Once X-10 locks on a target, the drone can follow people and vehicles from high in the air, so speed isn’t as much of a factor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Skydio CEO Adam Bry discussed ongoing efforts to enable drone-as-a-first-responder programs in other U.S. cities, including New York, where vehicle pursuits are on the rise and police envision autonomous drone deployments. Skydio partners with Axon, a company whose AI ethics oversight board resigned in protest following a pitch for autonomous Taser-mounted drones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Highway Patrol \u003ca href=\"https://www.chp.ca.gov/Documents/2022%20Police%20Pursuits%20Report%20to%20the%20Legislature%203.pdf\">found\u003c/a> that suspect apprehension is more likely with aerial support. In Los Angeles, police prioritize air support from helicopters when considering whether to pursue a fleeing suspect or known risk to public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But an LAPD review ordered last year by the Board of Police Commissioners following a rise in injuries found that 1 in 4 vehicle pursuits end in a collision, and half of the people injured are bystanders. Los Angeles allows high-speed pursuits for misdemeanors, as Proposition E would allow in San Francisco. San Francisco Chief Bill Scott told the police commission the department is developing a drone use policy but currently does not use drones or helicopters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same meeting, Department of Police Accountability Policy Director Janelle Caywood evaluated the department’s vehicle pursuit policy and compiled a report on vehicle pursuit best practices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She called the current vehicle pursuit policy average compared to other U.S. cities. She also noted that injuries and deaths are on the rise in some major cities. In New York City, police pursuits are \u003ca href=\"https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a44477538/police-chases-up-new-york-los-angeles/\">up 600%\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caywood recommended using drones to reduce the need for pursuits and de-escalate incidents.
