Gounardes: OpenAI claimed at the NYC hearing it supported the RAISE Act, but 'actively pushed to water down' it

Posted during the Oct 5, 2026 NYC Council hearing (17:10 UTC; ~6.2k views on Oct 6 via fxtwitter). New York State Senator Andrew Gounardes, sponsor of the RAISE Act, wrote that OpenAI "just claimed they supported my RAISE Act to regulate dangerous AI models. I was there—they actively pushed to water down the bill's safety requirements. It's another example of why we can't trust these companies to regulate themselves."

At today's NYC Council hearing, @OpenAI just claimed they supported my RAISE Act to regulate dangerous AI models.

I was there—they actively pushed to water down the bill's safety requirements. It's another example of why we can't trust these companies to regulate themselves. https://t.co/iVDcS3P2Cg
