OpenAI public policy agenda
Summary
OpenAI has published its public policy agenda centered on ensuring that artificial general intelligence (AGI, highly capable AI systems that can perform many tasks) benefits all of humanity through five core principles: democratization, empowerment, universal prosperity, resilience, and adaptability. The document outlines OpenAI's policy priorities, including a focus on frontier AI safety (protecting against risks from the most advanced AI models, particularly regarding CBRN weapons like cyber or biological threats) and support for state and federal frameworks that emphasize transparency, safety incident reporting, and developer accountability.
Solution / Mitigation
OpenAI supports state-level legislative efforts such as California SB 53, the New York RAISE Act, and Illinois SB 315, which emphasize transparency, public reporting around catastrophic-risk evaluations and safety incidents, whistleblower protections, and enforceable accountability for developers. OpenAI also supports Congressional action to establish a comprehensive federal framework that leverages state frontier safety laws, strengthens the Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI) as the primary federal institution for frontier AI safety, and mobilizes a broader resilience plan across government to address national security and public safety challenges.
