OpenAI said it supports stronger artificial intelligence safety rules in California, according to a letter sent to Governor Gavin Newsom and cited by The Information. In the letter, a senior company official said OpenAI backs requirements for AI companies to build shutdown mechanisms into their models, undergo mandatory independent annual audits, and adopt stricter cybersecurity measures. The letter was dated Tuesday and signed by Chan Park, OpenAI’s head of policy and partnerships for the United States and Canada. It also said the company recommends strengthening SB53, California’s current AI transparency law passed in 2025. That law already requires frontier AI companies to publish safety frameworks and transparency reports, and to report major safety incidents. OpenAI also supported rules requiring companies to make sure their safety frameworks explicitly cover the ability of frontier models to automate AI research and development.
