4:34 pm
weekend, then a dramatic cooldown is coming our way by early next week. let me show you the big picture in terms of how this is coming together. we go to the gulf of alaska right now to look for a noticeable pattern change. watch what happens. do you see that? we will let this loop. the next four days of forecast imagery and we are going ahead in time, then you can pick out a perfectly shaped cloud right there coming into the west coast of the u.s. that is a strong enough system to drop temperatures as much as 15 to 20 degrees and you can see some light rain to northern california. we could see rainfall accumulations on that same visualization. most is going up to the gulf and down to the pacific northwest. we don't see a lot of measurable rain as far south as the bay area. you can see some rain coming to the west. we are starting the pacific ,
4:35 pm
atmosphere over the northeastern pacific , which is starting to reorient itself to look like a change and it's starting to look more like fall. we will see some pretty impressive swings in the temperatures. let's go in order. before we get to that, we've got a warm-up for sunday. the first thing we want to look at is how things go over the next two days, then there is already assigned tomorrow that is vastly different than what we have been doing. we will play the future cast for the depiction of where the marine layers will be. when we look at that, you will notice the clouds for the most part are pretty much stuck along the coast could they are not to get on shore. we will not see much in terms of the marine layer working the way into the bay and we will stay relatively quiet from that standpoint. when we look at the
4:36 pm
daytime high as a result, these temperatures are not able to climb much at all. that is the marine layer. it doesn't really get into the bay much at all. daytime highs for tomorrow are warmer and this is the pattern for the next two days. we will stay relatively sunny and warm until midday saturday, so this is the warmest day, friday, in the seven-day forecast. we are back into the low 90s for the inland spots and you will see temperatures doing 71 degrees with redwood city making it up into the low and mid 80s. you have a sunny and warm forecast for the next while, so let's get into the forecast and we will see how it plays out in terms of change. a big drop shows up right back here from saturday into sunday. if you go from low 90s inland on friday to 75 on sunday , then this is where a small chance of rain shows up. she mentioned in that list of
4:37 pm
things coming our way, then it will get breezy. think it is the temperatures that make the main impact. yes, a 10% chance that this does turn into light rain. that doesn't count on a whole lot from it. we are talking about a couple of hundreds from the way it looks. that's the forecast for the bay where maybe it's not as dramatic in terms of the big swing on temperatures, but still the same story as we get a noticeably cooler setup for earlier next week. statement that's nice but it's starting to feel more like fall and starting to get that chill in the air. >> is definitely turning. some of the top names. artificial intelligence appeared at the white house and met with the biden administration officials to discuss the future of a.i. and potential strain on the power grid . the rapid development of energy intensive a.i. has sparked worries about the energy demand . the international entered energy agency says that a single request on chat gpt consumed 10
4:38 pm
times as much electricity as a typical google search. by 2030, a.i. is expected to spark a 160% surge in data center power demand, which is according to goldman sachs but california lawmakers are also taken and aim at a.i. they are pushing for safety measures and trying to regulate how state agencies are using it. that includes self driving cars. kenny choi gives us a look. >> reporter: working as a writer driver to make ends meet. >> this is barely minimum wage after you factor in expenses. >> reporter: a software engineer who has worked for startups. >> right now, i don't have a job. i'm between jobs. >> reporter: the flexibility of driving for lift and uber allows him laying the foundation for his next endeavor and he's well aware of how a.i. advancements,
4:39 pm
including the proliferation of driver list cars is impacting workers. >> yes, there are tons of jobs limited, but ultimately we as a civilization have grown with new jobs created. >> reporter: lawmakers are trying to keep pace. the a.i. accountability act bill introduced by state senator bill. guides the decision-making related to automated technologies. the bill would require state agencies to notify users when they are interacting with a.i. >> the legislature is famous for passing bills on businesses and everybody else, yet is not a leader in the area and does not not enact the same initiatives on itself. >> reporter: professor of engineering at san jose state who believes that legislation like this is a necessary starting point for the government. a.i. and consumers with so much uncertainty and the vastly changing a.i. world. >> having all of the parties together will help make sure

that the a.i. is responsible and safe. >> i think will enable more people to raise in their order of functioning and all of these repetitive dangerous and exhausting body stressful tasks will overtime eventually go away and be replaced. >> reporter: more than comfortable with the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence while believing in its potential rather than downside. >> the a.i. accountability act bill also encourages the state to invest in a.i. education and build a.i. competency in the states workforce. ahead, artificial intelligence and safety. the push from state lawmakers to hold developers accountable for potential dangers. a professor joins us live to discuss the significance of this and the impact of companies. a.i. is making its way

4:43 pm
we are continuing our conversation on a.i. safety. state lawmakers passed a bill aimed at stopping harm before it happens. it was authored by state senator scott wiener and joining me now is uc berkeley professor olaf groat from the school of business. by now we've all heard of what a.i. is capable of and the biggest names in tech agree it needs to be regulated. how significant is this bill and do you believe it's the gateway to more comprehensive federal regulation? >> yeah. i think this is a quite significant bill and there is some type of act, too,
4:44 pm
on biden's executive order on artificial intelligence. so i do believe a precedent will be created here for federal regulation if it were to take place in the next administration, say things like the mandatory shutdown for pending catastrophic failures that cause $500 million or more in potential damages, all of that i think is right on the mark and has been coming for a while and will create that federal precedent, yes. >> what about the smaller tech companies, though? how could they be impacted by this bill? and do you believe many might leave california because of it? >> no, i don't believe will have an impact on small innovators because the companies that qualify for these more arduous requirements are those that spend $100 million or more on training these models and that's usually the larger platforms, some of the foundation model creators that will hyper scale their
4:45 pm
platforms, small innovators, small model creators that don't spend as much money not having these arduous requirements. in addition, i think the bill has a quite unique and innovative concept and that is the concept of a framework for what's called cal compute. cal compute is a computing cluster with safety mechanisms baked in that allows stakeholders, smaller actors, smaller social entrepreneurs, et cetera, to innovate in a safe environment without having to spend a lot of money on these compute resources. i actually think in some ways the bill will facilitate entrepreneurship, about the it's not going to drive entrepreneurs out of california. the cluster effects in this region are simply too large and the penalty's not big enough. >> the biggest concern with any kind of regulation we've seen before is that regulation could stifle innovation. meta was particularly opposed to this bill, as was google. do you think this bill possibly crosses the line of overregulation? >> we'll have to see about
4:46 pm
that, right? because a lot of the answer to that question actually depends on the administrator's bureaucratic procedures that the bill will require and that are required of entrepreneurs that want to comply, right? so it's in the administration, not as much in the bill. we'll have to see about that. in general, i don't agree that any regulation is bad regulation. in fact, we've seen through research and history that good regulation can actually facilitate innovation because people trust more. there is more safety and trust is, in fact, needed for customer intimacy, right? that is needed to get more data from customers. so without trust and without this regulation by extension, it's really hard to get more data and do more things with that data for customers. now we'll have to see, however, how it all shakes out in the end as this bill gets enacted. meta itself has a condition and i do believe it's something that needs to be dealt with, which is that it
4:47 pm
is fostering a semi-open environment which is why if meta is required to shut down, it will shut down a whole ecosystem of smaller entrepreneurs. that will have to be resolved. >> thank you so much. >> thank you, liz. meantime artificial intelligence is already making its way into our hospitals and operating rooms. doctors say it could be a game changer from diagnostics to treatment to even research. our itay hod recently spent the day with one pioneering surgeon here in the bay area who says the future is already here. >> reporter: in dr. alan conway's operating room the day starts with a good old-fashioned scrub, a classic ritual for a surgery that's anything but traditional. >> how we looking? >> reporter: a leading vascular

4:49 pm
>> reporter: the healthcare industry is on the brink of a technological revolution with a.i. poised to reshape decision making before, after, and during surgical procedures. >> this newest wave of artificial intelligence is so much more powerful and useful. >> reporter: dr. kirk langlots is the director of the center for a.i. in medicine and imaging at stanford university. he says this new technology holds a lot of promise as long as it's used responsibly. >> we need to make sure to protect the privacy of patients and then we they'd to make sure to assess the accuracy and performance of each system. >> reporter: as for gary, his operation was a success, so much so he's already making post surgery plans. >> the first thing i want to do is go fishing. >> reporter: saving lives with some artificial help for results that are especially real. >> it's pretty amazing. according to the society for
