OpenAI exec says California’s AI safety bill might slow progress
Would AI companies leave California if SB 1047 passes?
As a result, we join other AI labs, developers, experts and members of California’s Congressional delegation in respectfully opposing SB 1047 and welcome the opportunity to outline some of our key concerns. The letter is addressed to California State Senator Scott Wiener, who originally introducedSB 1047, also known as the Safe and Secure Innovation for Frontier Artificial Intelligence Models Act. In a response to the letter published Wednesday evening, Wiener points out that the proposed requirements apply to any company doing business in California, whether they are headquartered in the state or not, so the argument “makes no sense.” He also writes that OpenAI “...doesn’t criticize a single provision of the bill” and closes by saying, “SB 1047 is a highly reasonable bill that asks large AI labs to do what they’ve already committed to doing, namely, test their large models for catastrophic safety risk.”
