California signs two bills regulating how outside groups evaluate AI for safety, backed by Anthropic and OpenAI
↗
California Governor Gavin Newsom signed two bills into law that regulate how outside groups evaluate AI programs for safety, with backing from Anthropic and OpenAI.
These bills establish legal rules around third-party AI safety evaluations in California, where most major AI labs are based. The fact that Anthropic and OpenAI supported the legislation suggests the requirements align with how those companies already approach external testing, but the specific obligations and their cost to smaller evaluators or labs are not detailed in the available material.
