California Man Withdraws AI Ballot Measures

Alexander Oldham, the California man who filed two AI-related ballot measures, withdrew the proposals on Tuesday after OpenAI filed a complaint with the California Fair Political Practices Commission on Monday. OpenAI alleged the measures were tailored to target its public benefit corporation structure and asked the watchdog to probe ties between Oldham, Anthropic employee Zoe Blumenfeld, and businessman Guy Ravine; Oldham denied coordination.
