OpenAI Endorses Revised California AI Safety Bill SB-1047 Amendments

In a dramatic shift from earlier industry resistance, OpenAI has publicly urged California lawmakers to adopt strengthened revisions of state AI safety legislation SB-1047.

The proposed amendments require developers of frontier AI models costing over $100 million to conduct mandatory pre-deployment red-teaming and submit safety audits to state regulators. OpenAI stated that standardized state-level framework will foster public trust without stifling open innovation.

Legislative leaders welcomed the endorsement, noting that consensus among industry pioneers is crucial for establishing practical AI governance.
