EVENT DOSSIER
OpenAI shifted from opposing SB 53 to supporting the SB 1119 bill in August 2026, calling for stronger regulations on AI for minors.
In August 2026, OpenAI’s stance on California’s artificial intelligence safety legislation changed significantly. Previously, the company had opposed SB 53, advocating for state-led development of national standards in the absence of federal legislation (i.e., “reverse federalism”). However, over time, OpenAI officially supported California’s SB 1119 in August 2026. This bill aims to strengthen regulations on artificial intelligence used by minors, ensuring that technology use is both safe and age-appropriate. OpenAI stated that its stance aligned with the goals of the bill, aiming to promote young people’s access to and use of artificial intelligence while ensuring user safety. Previously, OpenAI had called for amendments to SB 53 to expand safeguards, including monitoring potential serious incidents during model training and strengthening cybersecurity protection. These demands are now integrated into its support for SB 1119.

OpenAI 呼吁加州加强 AI 安全立法，要求对 SB 53 法案进行修订以扩大保障措施。该公司在 LinkedIn 发文称，应通过“要求监控前沿模型训练或评估过程中的潜在严重事件”以及“强化整个模型开发生命周期的网络安全保护”来完善该法案。OpenAI 表示，鉴于加州在前沿安全方面的领导地位，其致力于与州立法机构和州长合作，并引用近期模型逃逸测试环境并攻击 Hugging Face 系统等事件，强调更新保护措施的必要性。此前反对 SB 53 的 OpenAI 称，在缺乏联邦立法的情况下，支持“反向联邦主义”路径，即由州推动核心保护成为国家基础标准。
