🚨Scoop: OpenAI has changed its tune on the controversial Illinois bill SB 3444.
"We want to be very clear: we do not support the liability safe harbor included in SB 3444," OpenAI's Caitlin Niedermeyer said in written testimony to the Illinois Senate this week shared with @ReadTransformer.
As @ZeffMax reported last month, OpenAI faced heavy criticism for supporting the bill, which would have given AI companies a liability shield in exchange for light transparency measures. @CharlieBull0ck called it a contender for “worst state AI bill of all time.”
In addition to disavowing the controversial SB 3444 clause, this week OpenAI endorsed another bill in Illinois, SB 315, saying that it supports its third-party auditing provisions.
It also said that "the CAISI – in partnership with national security agencies – is well positioned to develop auditing standards," which I don't think it's said before.
