OpenAI has asked California to toughen the AI safety law it once fought. The company published the request on Friday, and Chase DiFeliciantonio reported it for Politico.
It is the first major AI lab to call for changes to the transparency law. That law was the first of its kind in the United States.
What it wants changed
OpenAI wants SB 53 amended to reach frontier models while they are still in training or evaluation. Developers would have to monitor them for potential serious incidents.
It defines those narrowly. The law should cover “conduct that could bypass a third party’s security controls and compromise the third party’s confidential information”. The global affairs team set that out in a post on LinkedIn.
