Take it to a repair shop or the dealer so they can find out what is wrong.

OR cover the light with a small piece of electrical tape. The airbags won’t save your life, but you won’t have to look at the light anymore.

Do not attempt to repair the airbags yourself, they contain an explosive…

The air bag light is warning you that the air bags won’t work, no protection in an accident. This is not a do it yourself fix. As @Mustangman says take the car to the dealer or reputable shop to get it looked at and fixed.
