California Governor Newsom has signed bills into law that establish a state AI standards commission and an auditor registry, a move explicitly supported by leading firms like OpenAI and Anthropic. This legislation introduces a new layer of voluntary oversight and credential verification for the artificial intelligence industry.

  • According to GN technics/ai (en-US), the legislation is notably endorsed by major industry players, with both OpenAI and Anthropic publicly supporting the measures. The new framework establishes a California AI Standards and Safety Commission to draft voluntary safety standards and creates a registry for verifying the credentials of AI risk auditors.
