OpenAI is throwing its support behind four California bills aimed at tightening artificial intelligence safeguards as the company calls on Congress to establish mandatory national rules for advanced AI systems.

The company said Wednesday that it supports bills that would create a framework for independent AI safety assessments, establish standards for AI auditors, impose new protections against children using AI companion chatbots, and require AI models to follow federal screening standards intended to guard against AI-enabled biological threats.
