California has pushed out badly worded laws in the past. Here's a definition from the bill.

“Artificial intelligence model” means an engineered or machine-based system that, for explicit or implicit objectives, infers, from the input it receives, how to generate outputs that can influence physical or virtual environments and that may operate with varying levels of autonomy.

Tell me that wouldn't also apply to a microwave oven.

My microwave oven has a kill switch though.

And I'm not sure if it has any degree of autonomy.
