Assembly passes measure tightening AI and faculty rules in CSU classrooms
Summary
SB 928 (presented in the Assembly as SB 9 28) clarifies faculty qualifications and narrows how AI may be treated in CSU instruction and public participation rules; backers said it provides guardrails and the Assembly passed the measure unanimously.
The Assembly approved SB 928, a measure presented on behalf of Senator Cervantes that would require California State University faculty positions to meet minimum qualifications and add clarity around the use of artificial intelligence in campus settings.
Assemblymember Fong described the bill as offering "guardrails on integration of AI tools into CSU classrooms and campuses" and emphasized protections for faculty roles. Lawmakers noted concerns about AI-generated public comments overwhelming agency processes; the presenter cited an example where "the South Coast Air Quality Management District received more than 20,000 AI generated public comments opposing proposed air quality rules."
Supporters said SB 928 clarifies definitions in transparency laws to exclude autonomous AI systems operating at scale from the statutory categories of "person" or "member of the public." The measure passed on the Assembly floor without recorded opposition (Ayes 54, No 0).
