OpenAI Pressures Activist Over AI Ballot Measures

Alexander Oldham, an East Bay resident, says OpenAI pressured him to withdraw two California AI ballot measures he filed to create state watchdogs, and he withdrew them last Tuesday, Politico reports. The proposals had state attorney approval to reach petitioning, Oldham says he drafted them with chatbot legal help; OpenAI filed a complaint with the California Fair Political Practices Commission and Anthropic denied involvement.
