OpenAI voices support for California's SB 1119
Expressed support for California Senate Bill SB 1119 — said it supports 7 provisions, including age checks, identification of safety risks, independent audits, blocking harmful content, parental controls, connection to crisis resources and limits on targeted advertising to minors. Assessed that, in the absence of federal legislation, the bill sets a strong standard for youth AI safety, and explained that it has already introduced ChatGPT for Teens, which applies automatic protections for ages 13–17, along with parental controls and age-prediction technology
Why it matters
A case of a frontier lab proactively backing state-level youth-safety regulation. In contrast with its 2024 opposition to SB 1047, it shows a phase in which the industry, rather than rejecting regulation wholesale, accepts it selectively area by area
