Just what it says on the tin. Covered most everywhere, but I found the quote in this Reuters article stuck out to me the most:

Newsom said the bill "does not take into account whether an AI system is deployed in high-risk environments, involves critical decision-making or the use of sensitive data" and would apply "stringent standards to even the most basic functions — so long as a large system deploys it."

Emphasis mine. So the governor says he vetoed it for the exact reason that it would have been a good law, in my view.
