From ComputerWorld: OpenAI has expressed opposition to California’s proposed bill regulating AI development and deployment as lawmakers prepare for an upcoming vote.
In a letter addressed to California State Senator Scott Wiener, the AI startup argued that the bill would stifle innovation in the sector and suggested that such regulation should be handled at the federal rather than state level, according to a Bloomberg report.
But in response, Wiener said that the OpenAI letter doesn’t criticize a single provision of the bill and that the company appears to acknowledge the bill’s specific core provisions.
“Instead of criticizing what the bill actually does, OpenAI argues this issue should be left to Congress,” Wiener said in a statement. “As I’ve stated repeatedly, I agree that ideally, Congress would handle this. However, Congress has not done so, and we are skeptical Congress will do so.”
