An AI watchdog group, the Midas Project, has accused OpenAI of violating California's Transparency in Frontier AI Act. The group alleges that OpenAI failed to publish required risk assessments for its recent model releases, including Astra, GPT-5.6, and GPT-6, which are mandated by the law. While OpenAI maintains it is compliant and points to its internal Preparedness Framework, the Midas Project argues this framework omits a key risk category—loss of control—that is required by the California law.
