OpenAI exec says California's AI safety bill might slow progress
Briefly

Jason Kwon emphasizes the need for a cohesive federal approach to AI regulations, arguing that state-level laws like California's SB 1047 could hinder innovation and push companies away.
Senator Scott Wiener defends SB 1047 by stating it sets reasonable standards for AI companies operating in California, aimed at ensuring safety through required pre-deployment tests.
Kwon highlights that a national framework for AI policies is necessary for the United States to maintain its leadership in setting global AI standards, advocating against fragmented state regulations.
Wiener criticizes OpenAI's stance, asserting that their opposition doesn't address any specific provisions of SB 1047 and calls the bill's requirements reasonable and necessary for public safety.
