According to The Information, a senior official at OpenAI, in a letter to California Governor Gavin Newsom, stated that the company supports requiring AI companies to implement shutdown mechanisms for their models, undergo mandatory annual independent audits, and adopt stricter cybersecurity measures. The letter, dated Tuesday, was signed by Chan Park, who leads OpenAI’s policy and partnerships for the United States and Canada.
The letter stated that OpenAI "recommends strengthening SB53." This bill is California's current artificial intelligence transparency law, enacted in 2025, which currently requires frontier AI companies to disclose their safety frameworks and transparency reports, as well as report significant security incidents. Additionally, OpenAI supports regulations requiring companies' safety frameworks to explicitly cover the ability of frontier models to autonomously conduct AI research and development. (Jin10)
