OpenAI has publicly called on California lawmakers to amend and strengthen landmark AI safety legislation, advocating for deeper safeguards. In a recent statement, the company suggested expanding requirements to monitor frontier models during their training phase and enforcing tighter cybersecurity protocols throughout the development lifecycle.
This stance represents a notable shift for the AI giant, which had previously opposed the SB 53 bill due to its strict transparency mandates and whistleblower protections. With comprehensive federal legislation still absent, OpenAI now supports state-level standards that could eventually pave the way for a unified national framework.
