emily chang spoke with marc benioff . ese customers have been convinced of something that is not true, that they have to go to a hyper scaler or get a database, that they have to buy a security technology, that they have to choose a chip, they have to hook it altogether themselves, they have to diy there ai. it is not true. you do not have to diy your ai. when we started the show, they didn't really believe it. so that is why we created a whole factory across the street, as you saw in moscow only west, where we put more than 10,000 customers through already to show them that on the salesforce platform, which they have already been committed to for more than 20 years, have had great success in sales and services and marketing and communications and commerce and analytics and slack and in all of these technologies, that now they are also building ai and this is a shock to them. we are future proofing their company with the sales floor -- salesforce platform. >> what models have you billeted on? marc: they don't need to know.

in the last hour, ceo marc benioff posted on social media, saying the annual conference brought in an estimated $100 million to the local economy and raised more than 100 million for ucsf. benioff children's hospital. he also praised san francisco for being clean and safe. benioff, as you might know, has been critical in the past of san francisco policies and government procedures. so what about the future of dreamforce? there was some speculation about moving this conference to las vegas. mayor breed tells us tells the san francisco stanford standard that she has gotten assurances that dreamforce will stay in the city. we've reached out to salesforce and the city for details and are waiting to hear back. we'll have more from today's conference in just a few minutes. also tonight, governor newsom signing 32 bills as part of a comprehensive housing package that focuses on creating housing accountability and streamlining the production of housing. this happened while mayor breed announced a more aggressive timeline for increasing housing for people living on the streets. right now, the

the keynote speech by ceo marc benioff himself. see if you can describe it. we want to be the first to welcome you into the future. with that, salesforce ceo marc benioff introduced us to the 45,000 people attending dreamforce in person in san francisco, and the millions of people streaming and watching on social platforms around the world. the idea is to use artificial intelligence to do the more mundane work and free up the people to be more creative. in contrast to chat bots and copilots who simply assist, ai agents can take action. ai agents understand data they have reasoning capabilities. they have an ability to apply trust to the output from the agents, so agents and humans can work together. augmenting humans ability or even on behalf of humans ability to do work. the folks here paid between 1500 and $2500 to attend the three day event, allowing san francisco to cash in on a $93 billion economic boom. even like getting in an uber yesterday, the driver was thanking us and saying how excited he is to have dreamforce back. so we feel that across the rest

so here you see governor newsom there with salesforce ceo marc benioff. so the laws protect the digital likeness of actors and performers by ensuring ai is not used to replicate their voice or likeness. that's one of the measures several others are related to election advertisement and communication. so ab 2655 requires large online platforms to remove or label deceptive or altered content related to elections. another requires election ads using ai generated or altered content to include a disclosure in a conversation. as i mentioned with salesforce ceo marc benioff, newsom said that california feels a responsibility to be on the forefront of ai regulation. >> the federal government humbly, i submit, for many different reasons, is failed to regulate. we've seen that in social media for decades and decades. in the absence of that regulatory framework, california asserts itself and that's frustrating. i understand that deeply because no one wants a patchwork of regulations, 50 different flavors and different approaches. but in the absence of federal leader

. >> the big announcement from salesforce ceo marc benioff today and a suspicious fire tonight in the city of hayward. >> it damaged eight cars that belonged to alameda county. what we know coming up after the break "the doctor will see you now." but do they really? do they see that crick in your neck? that ache in your heart? will they see that funny little thing that wasn't there last year? a new bounce in your step? the way your retinal scan connects to your blood sugar? at kaiser permanente all of us work together to care for all that is you. the search for that second individual continued today, but the person has still not been located. maricopa county sheriff deputies say they were called to an area of the salt river at 530 last night in the tonto national forest, after a report of two individuals struggling in the river. when deputies arrived, they found some good samaritans performing cpr on a man on the shoreline of the river. medics were unable to save him and he died at the scene. >> in washington, officials are sounding the alarm over a recent pattern of carjackings. stat

jump up, jump down all those things. >> its ceo and co-founder of the business software company marc benioff, called in from the road and said, this year, salesforce will unveil the latest technological leap in artificial intelligence agent force. >> what became clearer and clearer is that this is really becoming about humans with agents and how they are going to work together for the first time. >> salesforce says agent force will transform business. benioff said disney is among those companies previewing the technology. he said one way the technology is already working is for example, if a ride in the theme park is unavailable, the ai will help determine what the next best activity is for park visitors. the technology, he says, will be invisible, seamless and powerful. >> the ai is able to take that very complex situation and make it very simple. >> while preparations are underway, san francisco's police department has been preparing as well. law enforcement said they've been working with dreamforce organizers and say at this time, there are no specific or credible threats surrounding the

marc benioff is a huge mouthpiece for the city, not publicly elected. but he's called you out even recently. not you, but called out sfpd and saying, we need more officers. do you chat with him of saying, hey, you know what, you can help or hurt us in terms of the narrative? oh, all the time. we have regular ongoing conversations. but i will say marc benioff loves the city. he has a genuine love for san francisco. and just like i do, he want to see this stuff happen faster. and the problem we've had with our layers of bureaucracy is it just doesn't work the way that people want us to make it work. during covid pandemic, we had emergency power to do whatever we needed to do. we were able to move mountains and make things happen faster. and now we're working back at our bureaucratic years with our state requirements and other laws that come into place when we are making these decisions. as much as we need more police officers, they still need to go through a background check. and we're using the private sector as well as internal resources to do so. and w
