Open AI Opposing a California bill that would impose new safety requirements on artificial intelligence (AI) companies invoice This issue should be addressed at the federal level because it limits innovation.
OpenAI said in a letter to the state senators who drafted the bill that the bill, Senate Bill 1047, would also impact U.S. AI competitiveness and national security. The company shared the letter in an email to PYMNTS.
“The AI revolution is just beginning, and California’s unique position as a global leader in AI will strengthen the vitality of our state’s economy,” OpenAI’s chief strategy officer said.

in One press release In a letter issued Wednesday in response to Open AI’s opposition to SB 1047, Wiener said the company’s letter “does not criticize any provision of the bill.” And instead They argue that the issue should be left to the U.S. Congress.
“As I have repeatedly stated, Ideally “Congress will address this,” Wiener said in the letter, “but it has not done so, and I am skeptical that it will ever do so.”
Wiener, in his response to other concerns raised by OpenAI in the letter, said the bill’s requirements would strengthen national security by forcing AI companies to thoroughly test their products, and that it wouldn’t make sense for companies to leave California if the bill passed because the bill would still apply to them and would apply to all companies doing business in the state.
“In short, SB 1047 is a very reasonable bill that would require large AI labs to do what they’ve already committed to doing: testing large-scale models for catastrophic safety risks,” Wiener wrote.
