Welcome back, AI Enthusiasts!
In today’s AI summary rundown:
After vetoing Senate Bill 1047 in September 2024 for being overly rigid, Governor Newsom commissioned a team of experts (including Fei‑Fei Li and Mariano‑Florentino Cuéllar) to design a balanced AI governance framework.
The group warns that rapid AI breakthroughs pose national security threats—from bioweapon creation to CBRN weapon risks- requiring urgent state-level oversight.
Instead of focusing solely on training costs, the new proposal emphasizes real-world usage and downstream harm assessments, with compute-based thresholds reduced to a preliminary filter.
The report highlights “systemic opacity” within the AI industry, calling for mandatory third-party audits, safe‑harbor provisions for researchers, and stronger whistleblower channels.
Rejecting the Republican-led federal push for a 10‑year moratorium on state AI laws, authors argue that California can pioneer “common-sense” oversight, potentially harmonizing regulations across states.

Insight: Google expands Search Console to include AI Mode clicks
AI Mode in Search Console
Google has updated its Search Console to now count clicks and impressions from its AI Mode a chatbot-style search interface rolled out to U.S. users in May 2025, treating AI engagements as part of standard search traffic.
Unified traffic metrics
Metrics from AI Mode are merged with traditional web search data, with no option to filter or separate them, making it harder for publishers to determine which clicks originated from AI Mode versus classic search.
Positioning follows SERP rules
Clicks and impressions in AI Mode are tracked using the same rules as standard SERPs: individual positions are assigned separately for each link, including carousel and image blocks.
Follow‑up queries treated as new
If a user asks follow-up questions within AI Mode, each one is counted as a new query in Search Console, with its metrics.
Publishers voice concern
SEO professionals on Reddit warn that combining AI Mode data into overall metrics could obscure performance insights:
