seen in 30 years. >> my strategy is intended to fix this major shortcomings in our laws. >> commissioner laura isn't doing his job, but consumer advocacy organizations argue the plan comes with significant loopholes that will actually hurt consumers. >> in seven on your side's stephanie sierra joins us with the latest. >> yeah, there's a lot to get to. commissioner ricardo lara's latest proposal affects all of us, every policyholder and consumer. in california, we heard from one man who saw a 1,000% increase in his insurance premiums just in the past four years. and laura testified to lawmakers today that his plan aims to fix problems like that. but consumer watchdog says it only tells half the story. for the first time in nearly a year since introducing his strategy to regulate california's insurance market, commissioner ricardo lara testified before the assembly insurance committee with his latest plan to reform it. >> we are creating an entirely new law, new procedures from the ground up, and we are doing it

in record time. >> that plan includes promises of removing policies from the fair plan to go back to market, increasing insurance availability and pledging for more transparency and accuracy in rate making and catastrophe modeling. but consumer advocates say this commissioner has betrayed his oath of office. >> he has misled and lied to the public, and we're finally here to say we're going to set the record straight. >> harvey rosenfield, the founder of consumer watchdog, says the plan comes with several loopholes. one of the big ones claims that insurance companies will be required to expand sales in fire prone areas to at least 85% of what they sell elsewhere. >> well, there's a loophole to that. the regulation actually says maybe 85, but it's okay if you just do five. >> rosenfield says in the fine print, the regulation eliminates transparency and disclosure requirements, and insurers have no deadline for implementation. another example claims to reduce

costs and regulate rate hikes. consumer watchdog says the proposal actually imposes price hikes from unverifiable catastrophe models. >> one of the things they want to do now that they can't, they want to do that they cannot do now, is use computer models and software and algorithms to jack up our premiums. they're not allowed to do that under proposition 103. >> prop 103 is the insurance reduction and reform act. that aims to protect consumers from arbitrary insurance rates and encourage a competitive market. these proposed changes come as tens of thousands of consumers are getting dropped by their providers across the state. >> last year, we had 100% full coverage. now we have half of that. however, the premium went from $349,000 to a whopping 1.7 million. >> my insurance shouldn't cost me as much as my mortgage. if he can't hold their feet to the

fire, he should get out of the kitchen. >> by law, insurance companies are entitled to rate increases and entitled to a fair profit. but under prop 103, they're not allowed to pass on the cost of reinsurance. that's another issue being debated right now. meantime, commissioner lara says he's launching local assistance centers near areas of major wildfires to help consumers answer questions and file claims. >> it's a wild time in the insurance industry, that's for sure. it is. >> it's tough. thanks, jeff. thank you. all right. if you have an issue you would like seven on your side to investigate for you just go to abc seven news.com/7 on your side. >> san francisco has filed a preliminary injunction to immediately stop oakland from using the new airport name that it adopted back in april. san francisco city attorney says the name change to san francisco bay oakland international airport is just confusing to travelers. san francisco had previously filed a trademark infringement lawsuit. oakland airport says it changed

the name to remind travelers it's part of the san francisco bay area. >> a year after threatened to move the dreamforce conference out of san francisco today. salesforce ceo marc benioff spoke with a different tune at the start of this year's event. >> i want to thank san francisco and california for everything that you've done for us, and you're going to see our fire department and our police department here in san francisco have done an extraordinary job to get us going and to make sure that this is a safe and trusted environment and i'll also want to thank gavin newsom, who happened to bring down an extra couple of hundred chp to keep our streets safe for us. thank you. on behalf of me, last year, benioff questioned whether salesforce would continue hosting its dreamforce conference in san francisco. >> benioff complained about rampant drug use and the homelessness crisis. benioff eventually donated $1 million to help clean up the city. >> well, the focus at dreamforce this year is artificial intelligence, with dreamforce attendees calling san francisco

the mecca of innovation. >> but state senator scott wiener says all that innovation comes with risks. >> abc seven news reporter suzanne fawn joining us live now in the newsroom with details. suzanne. >> larry kristen sze, state senator scott wiener is spearheading what he calls the first bill of its kind in the united states, which he says would make a.i. safer. he and others say they support ai and what it can do to improve our world, but they want to make sure there are guardrails. >> this is incredible technology and code. >> salesforce ceo marc benioff unveiled the system he says is leading the third wave of ai development. it's called agent force. >> agent force has to be the biggest breakthrough that we have ever had on technology. >> benioff launched agent force during the first day of the dreamforce event in san francisco. he says it allows for customized ai agents to do mundane, low value and repetitive tasks, freeing up people to do more valuable and creative work. >> i want ai innovation to

continue here at state, senator scott wiener says. >> he is all for innovation, but he's also pushing the first ever ai safety bill in the country. sb 1047 it requires large corporations to do safety testing on the most powerful models before they're released, to prevent any possibility of catastrophic harm. >> we can promote strong and robust ai innovation while doing so responsibly and trying to get ahead of the safety risks. >> doctors like robert gould with physicians for responsibility are backing senator wiener's efforts. >> doctors know that preventive care is crucial for the health of our patients. we must also advocate for policies that prevent technological crises before they occur and advocate for now, the national organization for women says if left unchecked, ai poses health and safety risks. >> women are the first to be exploited, attacked and abused online in the most invasive ways possible. and with ai, what's

possible changes every day. we call on governor newsom to sign sb 1047. >> even youth activists are concerned about the power of ai. >> i do want innovation to continue, but i want it to continue safely and as a young climate activist, i stand before you today in support of sb 1047, wiener says. >> it's important to hear about the impact of ai and the risks of ai for other industries besides tech. >> ai has huge potential to make the world a better place and to make the world a more equitable place, but it also has risks. and so let's get ahead of those risks. >> and state senator wiener says sb 1047 has a lot of support from other tech companies, as well as people in other industries. now, the bill still needs to be signed by governor newsom. he has until september 30th. back to you. all right. >> thank you. suzanne. as we showed you at the top of the newscast, governor newsom attended dreamforce today, sitting down with salesforce ceo marc benioff for a conversation covering a wide range of topics,

including ai. the governor says this is an industry where california is clearly a leader. >> this is a space where we dominate, and i want to maintain our dominance. i want to maintain our innovation. i want to maintain our ecosystem. i want to continue to lead. at the same time, you feel a deep sense of responsibility to address some of those more extreme concerns that i think many of us have. even the biggest and strongest promoters of this technology have. >> newsom went to on say one of the biggest challenges right now is regulating ai. he said he's looking at bills that provide protections while also leaving room for flexibility to make changes. as technology changes. >> governor newsom today also signed two bills to ensure the responsible use of ai in entertainment. the bills require the consent of pemers to use their digital likeness in any audio or visual productions. the protections also extend to performers who are dead. their estates will have to give permission for any digital recreations.

>> in oakland today, crews are cleaning up a homeless encampment on martin luther king jr. way between 20th and 25th streets. the city decided to close the encampment due to what they say is a rise of crimes in the area and a double homicide that took place earlier this month. outreach workers have been on site to help find shelter for those people who want it. three people have already been moved into the community cabin program, and that cleanup is expected to last at least two weeks. meanwhile, in san francisco, people who live in rvs and their supporters held a rally to ask city officials to stop plans to tow rvs that are parked on city streets. they say it's only going to make things worse for the unhoused. >> this ban will destroy the fragile stability at the center of the lives of hundreds of extremely vulnerable families. >> just because you live in an rv doesn't make you less so. >> that group rallied ahead of today's sfmta meeting. they talked more about their concerns during public comment. sfmta has

proposed a ban to prohibit rvs and oversize vehicles from parking on city managed streets from midnight to 6 a.m. now would also allow mta or sfmta to tow vehicles violating the ban. but only after offering shelter. the proposal still needs approval from sfmta's board of supervisors directors, that is, san francisco mayor london breed joined me today on our 3 p.m. show, getting answers where the mayor spoke about the city's efforts to clean up the streets. >> we are offering a place for people to go. we're offering services and support, and we do have a number of people who are rejecting those services, mostly because they suffer from substance use disorder. they have some level of addiction, and it's complicated. so we're putting together the resources. but what we are doing now is just not letting things happen the way they used to, because now the capacity and the laws are on our side. >> breed says those resources include help gettinin elters or treatment programs.

>> hundreds of new housing units are coming to bart's ashby station. last night, the berkeley city council approved an agreement with bart to build more than 600 units on the lot currently used for parking. at least 50% of those units must be affordable. berkeley also plans to develop another bart site across adeline street for use by the berkeley flea market and community organizations. construction. there could begin by the year 2026. >> sean diddy combs in jail right now. the charges he's facing. it's one of the top orchestras in the country, but now the san francisco symphony is facing the music with its toughest challenge yet. and as we count down to the election, the effort to make sure you get out and vote. >> i'm meteorologist sandhya patel. spotty shower chance and beach weather in the accuweather seven day forecast. >> i'll break it

people going looking down at what appears to be a pager and then an explosion breaking out. we're seeing lebanese hospitals on high alert. lebanon's health ministry launching a real fleet of ambulances to try and deal with the aftermath of this attack. and it comes at a really tense moment. we're seeing increasing tensions between israel and hezbollah. that militant group based in lebanon, backed by iran, one of the victims of this attack, according to iranian state media, is iran's ambassador to lebanon. that's highly significant. and in recent days, we're seeing more reports from israeli officials talking up the possibility of a wider conflict between israel and hezbollah. but at this stage, israeli officials have not said anything about this series of explosions inside lebanon, where apparently pager devices have detonated in a very coordinated and sophisticated way. tom soufi burrge, abc news, paris. >> a judge has denied bail for

for the symphony, though now facing one of its most challenging moments since its inception back in 1911. and that is how to keep its prestigious title while struggling financially. and abc seven news building a better bay area reporter, lyanne melendez, is here with a look at the future. >> well, i tell you, if you were to write a book right now about the san francisco symphony, i think the title would be the upside of uncertainty. so anyway, first of all, the conductor who replaced the legendary michael tilson thomas mtt is leaving at the end of this season. he is considered among the best conductors in the world. now, right now, there is drama, conflict, financial uncertainty and as always in a good book, a call for optimism. but will it be enough to make it a bestseller? you decide. might say that san francisco had a fairy tale moment when, in late 2018, the symphony hired

conductor esa-pekka salonen to have hired him was, you know, a public relations coup and an artistic coup beyond imagining. >> none of us here thought that could ever happen. >> salonen didn't actually begin his tenure until 2020, and we all know what that infamous year meant for the world. covid. all concerts were canceled through june 20th, 21. by then, the two top people directly responsible for hiring salonen had left. in their place, a new leadership was assembled matthew spivey and priscilla geeslin. by march of this year, salonen announced he was stepping down. you will perhaps be remembered as the folks who let quote a bucket list brilliant conductor go. so a simple question to both of yo. what the hell happened? >> you know, i think this is a

moment of change for every arts organization, certainly in san francisco. but really across the country, we're seeing as arts organizations emerge coming out of the pandemic, they're thinking differently about who they are and how they connect and relate to the world around them. >> salonen, who has been connected to the world of tech, wanted to experiment with music and robotics. >> it's not only about being the orchestra of the future, it's about being the orchestra of the now. >> ideas that some say proved costly. and tha management and the board once again brought up the discussion of financial responsibility. despite having a large endowment. you sit around a table as a family and you say, we have this much money. >> this is what we can spend this year. do we take a vacation? do we not take a vacation? do we go out to dinner more? do we do less? it's saying that this is the money we have to spend. and this is how we're

going to utilize it to make sure that by the end of the year, we still have a reasonable amount of money to move forward. >> critics argue prestige costs money, and if you're not an organization that's ready to spend money to create art, what are you doing? are you okay? being a great symphony and great is not the same as amazing or best is one of the most extraordinary ensembles in the world, period. >> and i think what defines that is not budget size. some of the most impactful moments that we've made don't necessarily cost much at all. they both maintain there is no animosity between them and salonen. >> salonen did not want to be interviewed for this story. he did not allow us to film any rehearsals or performances that include him. the video you are watching is in the public domain with its financial belt tightening, the symphony is also

about to begin contract negotiations with the musicians union. scott pingel is the principal bass of the symphony. >> if we lose the high quality of the musicians, we lose the high quality of the art. and so we have to ask ourselves what is important to us. and i think that any civilization has to answer that question, that beauty is incredibly important. >> we are committed to working with our musicians, and i trust them, i really do. our challenge is not an internal one. our challenge is an external one. >> that external challenge is to attract a younger audience and finding new donor money. bill luth is the president of classical kdfc, the radio station that broadcasts the symphony's concerts. >> that's part of the challenge is how do you shore up the rest of the support and the interest? and there's a turnover going on in the folks who support the arts at a high level just because of age. >> the symphony believes one way to attract audiences is to showcase what few cities have a

one of a kind performing arts scene, which also includes the ballet, the opera, the sfjazz center and the conservatory. >> this is an incredible concentration of great art institutions. and west of the mississippi, you don't have a concentration like this. >> what do you want viewers to get out of this interview? >> i want them to come to the hall. i want them to come and support us. i want them to come and enjoy the music and our orchestra and celebrate the san francisco symphony. >> oh, and in case you're wondering who will replace salonen, a selection committee met last friday to begin searching for another extraordinary conductor, leaving the rest of us to read the tea leaves.

and last night, members of the symphony's chorus voted to authorize a strike. now not promising news as the musicians start their negotiations. now, word on the street is that all these issues may stand in the way of getting a new or that new superstar conductor that they need. still, they maintain that they are focused now more than ever on their education programs in the schools, their community engagement programs, and of course, bringing people to davies hall. do you want to know my analysis? >> i mean, what you're going to have is more. i mean, just so a lot of the young techies aren't. right. >> so you have the older generation, let's say. and in order for them to achieve certain status, right, they collected art. they went to the symphony, they went to the opera. now i have a feeling, and we know this, that a lot of we don't want to. we don't want to focus on the techies. but let's say the younger professionals may not be interested in those

things the way the older generation, you know, was or still is, but they're not going to last forever. and that's the issue. >> so that is a big problem. that's the focus to invest in the schools because you're breeding the next generation, right. >> hopefully get some younger people into the tent. thank you leanne. sure. all right. up next, instagram is tightening the reins on teen accounts they also said you couldn't escape from alcatraz. but watch me do both. other candidates want to tear down san francisco,

but i'll build on what's already great to make it even better. with expanded rent control, new homes for the middle class community policing to reduce crime, and an inspector general to root out corruption. let's get to work. paid for by aaron peskin for mayor 2024. financial disclosures are available at sfethics.org take an ekg from anywhere, but with 6-times the data. can your smartwatch do that? introducing kardiamobile 6l, the fda-cleared ekg that provides six-times more heart data than any smartwatch. and it detects three of the most common arrhythmias in just 30 seconds, including atrial fibrillation, bradycardia and tachycardia. kardiamobile 6l, the world's most advanced personal ekg. get yours today at kardia.com or amazon.

thr ag or make a new account on the same device. so i mean, this has been building and building and building for years. where at some point we have to disconnect ourselves, especially for younger people, say, okay, it's time tohe phone down and, and concentrate on other parts of my life. >> dan yeah, you're right, larry, and we have to protect kids. you know, that's fundamentally the job of adults is to protect kids as best we can. we rate movies. we say it's not okay for an eight year old kid to go to an r-rated movie. there are things that they are that are not age appropriate for them, and you know they're not going to be the ones to make the decisions. we have to do that for them. >> sandhya. i mean, your kids are a little bit older, but kind of in this range. so any thoughts? >> yeah. i mean, i think that there should be some sort of regulation, larry. i mean, it's just gotten out of control to where there are so many kids, younger and younger on these social media sites and you don't really know what they're exposed to. i mean, they're not going to go tell you. oh, by the way, this is what happened. i saw

this, i saw this, i mean, i just think it's a it's a good idea. it's about time. all right. on the topic of kids in social media, a nonprofit in utah is challenging teenagers to ditch their smartphones and social media for one year, more than 60 kids have signed up to get out in nature more and bond with each other in person, all to help address the teen mental health crisis. >> they can still have a basic phone to text and make calls. oh, i like the idea. i feel like if you sign your name to something, you're more likely to actually be committed to do it, right? >> i think so, listen as you guys know, i'm an evangelist for this sort of thing. i think kids need to have phones and it's all fine, but they they spend way too much time on phones and computers. i credit and i've said this a thousand times, one of the things i credit for being basically a happy person my whole life is because i spent my entire childhood outdoors climbing trees, playing outside, interacting with friends, using my imagination, and just playing. i wasn't stuck inside on a computer all day long or on
