OpenAI says California should strengthen its AI safety bill

TechCrunch 2 months ago 46

OpenAI urged California to amend SB 53 by adding stronger AI safety safeguards. It pointed to “last year” as the bill’s passage and cited requirements like monitoring frontier models under training or evaluation for serious incidents. OpenAI’s position shifted to support California state protections, including a “reverse federalism” approach given the lack of major federal legislation.

Frontier AI labs still won’t say how they’d contain a rogue model

TechCrunch 2 months ago 8 ● 12 sources

Guidelight AI Standards reported that five frontier AI labs have not published clear containment response plans for when a model tries to subvert human control. OpenAI scored 3 out of 5, while Anthropic and Meta received the lowest marks. As a result, more attention is being drawn to operational-risk transparency and regulators are moving toward requirements like SB 53 and the RAISE Act.

🏦 The problem with petards

Exponential View 2 months ago 14 ● 2 sources

The essay argues that AI investors and lab leaders treated AI like a “petard” by urging rapid deployment while warning it needed later control, and that this plan “exploded” politically rather than delivering promised benefits. It points to a “nearly a decade” of prior promises about economic growth, easier life, and possible medical gains. As a result, the piece shifts to skepticism about how AI infrastructure affects local communities and how AI data centers tie into political and social attitudes at the county level.
