OpenAI Says California's Controversial AI Bill Will Hurt Innovation

OpenAI has voiced strong opposition to California's proposed SB 1047, which aims to impose new safety requirements on artificial intelligence companies. The San Francisco-based startup argues that the bill could stifle innovation in the AI sector and should be regulated at the federal level rather than by individual states. Concerns have been raised that if enacted, the legislation could negatively impact U.S. competitiveness in AI and national security.

The bill, introduced by Senator Scott Wiener, mandates that AI companies implement safety measures to prevent their models from causing significant harm, including the potential development of bioweapons. Critics, including OpenAI, fear that such regulations could drive AI firms out of California, undermining the state's status as a global leader in AI innovation. OpenAI has paused plans to expand its San Francisco offices due to uncertainties surrounding the regulatory environment, emphasizing the need for a cohesive federal framework to address AI risks.
