OpenAI joins Silicon Valley companies lobbying against California's AI bill, which includes a 'kill switch'

OpenAI is actively opposing a California bill that mandates a 'kill switch' for AI systems. This legislation, introduced by State Sen. Scott Wiener, aims to enforce strict safety protocols for AI models developed at a cost exceeding $100 million. OpenAI argues that such regulations could hinder innovation and drive tech companies out of California.

The bill has garnered support from other tech giants like Meta and Anthropic, who share concerns about its potential impact on the AI landscape. Meta warns that the bill could deter open-source development by imposing significant legal liabilities on developers. Meanwhile, Anthropic advocates for a more balanced regulatory approach that fosters progress rather than stifling it.
