As the debate over SB 1047 intensifies, Wiener remains steadfast in his support for the bill, which he believes is a necessary step toward responsible AI governance.
California State Senator Scott Wiener has publicly criticized OpenAI’s opposition to Senate Bill 1047 (SB 1047), which aims to regulate artificial intelligence technologies.
Wiener introduced the bill in February, which would require AI companies to conduct rigorous safety evaluations of their models before releasing them to the public.
Despite OpenAI’s high-profile objection, Wiener argued that the company’s concerns are unfounded and that the bill is essential for safeguarding both public safety and national security.
