OpenAI also endorsed California’s SB 53, an AI‑transparency law, in a letter dated October 20, and backed four other California bills introduced in September 2026. Earlier, a July 28, 2026 employee‑led letter called “Pacing the Frontier” gathered more than 1,100 signatures from AI professionals and was endorsed by both OpenAI and Anthropic.
