Meta's letter to Newsom opposes mandatory outside safety checkers, diverging from OpenAI and Anthropic

CADecoded scooped Meta's letter to Gov. Newsom outlining its AI regulatory positions, some contrasting with OpenAI and Anthropic. Meta argued against requiring companies to embed outside safety checkers inside their AI labs — an idea both competitors have endorsed after rogue-AI hacks.
Meta said it is open to safeguards preventing loss of control of models, reporting requirements for critical safety incidents (including during development and evaluation), and outside checks that companies follow their own safety rules.
The letter lands as Newsom's outside expert panel prepares recommendations on threats including kill switches for runaway models and embedded safety checkers.
