OpenAI: AI capabilities are in a ‘different place’ and require urgency

The company’s top lobbyist believes there’s still a window for policy.

OpenAI, a leading AI company, has called for federal safety measures as AI capabilities continue to advance rapidly. The company's chief global affairs officer, Chris Lehane, spoke to the White House, stating that OpenAI believes the urgency to regulate AI has never been greater due to the increasing concerns of potential harm and job loss.

Despite skepticism from President Donald Trump and other high-ranking officials, OpenAI remains hopeful that bipartisan consensus on regulating AI could lead to progress, even if legislation does not pass before the midterms.
