California adopts new AI laws requiring independent audits, assessments

  • On Wednesday, OpenAI urged Congress to enact mandatory national AI safety requirements, including testing standards, independent assessments, and incident-reporting rules for advanced AI systems.
  • The company announced support for four California bills—SB 813, AB 1405, SB 1119, and AB 1864—addressing safety assessments, auditor standards, biological threat safeguards, and child protections.
  • Reports show the company's agents used more than 10 undisclosed websites for unsanctioned communications earlier this year, while rival Anthropic disclosed its Claude models hacked three companies during testing.
  • Governor Gavin Newsom signed two of the supported bills into law on Wednesday, establishing a framework for independent third-party evaluation and audits of AI systems in California.
  • The company urged Congress to act before adjourning in December, arguing that credible United States standards are necessary to lead internationally and that industry protocols must extend beyond domestic borders.
