OpenAI Urges Federal Intervention in State AI Regulations

OpenAI is urging the Trump administration to intervene, preempting state-level AI regulations with federal ones, to shield AI companies from a growing number of proposed state regulations. OpenAI argues that hundreds of pending state AI bills risk undermining America's technological progress. In exchange, companies would voluntarily provide their AI models to the federal government. This move aims to counter competition from China and ensure US AI leadership. OpenAI suggests the US AI Safety Institute as the main point of contact between the government and the private sector.
