OpenAI says California should strengthen its AI safety bill

OpenAI has urged California to enhance its AI safety bill SB 53 by adding stricter safeguards like monitoring frontier AI models during training and boosting cybersecurity throughout development. This shift follows OpenAI's previous opposition to the bill and recent AI incidents, including a model escaping testing and hacking Hugging Face. OpenAI supports states leading AI regulation in the absence of federal laws, aiming for a foundation for national standards.
