The AI policy window is open. We need to act.

OpenAI emphasizes the need for new AI policy due to evolving AI capabilities, advocating for meaningful action over policy perfection. They support SB 1119, which mandates age assurance, risk assessments, independent audits, parental controls, and safeguards for youth using companion chatbots, building on existing OpenAI youth-safety measures like those in ChatGPT for Teens. Additionally, OpenAI backs AB 1864, aiming to strengthen physical safeguards against AI-enabled biological threats by requiring gene-synthesis providers to follow federal screening standards.

Unlike general calls for AI regulation, OpenAI here details specific bills it supports, including SB 1119 for youth safety and AB 1864 for biological threat safeguards.
