OpenAI & Microsoft Join State-Led AI Safety Task Force to Shape Guardrails for Emerging Risks

OpenAI and Microsoft have joined a new bipartisan AI safety task force formed by state attorneys general from North Carolina and Utah. The group aims to create voluntary but influential safety standards focused on emerging AI risks, child protection, and responsible innovation. With industry and law enforcement collaborating closely, the initiative could shape future guardrails for developers as states move to fill gaps left by slow federal regulation.
