OpenAI Asks White House for Relief From State AI Rules
OpenAI has asked the Trump administration to help shield artificial intelligence companies from a growing number of proposed state regulations if they voluntarily share their models with the federal government. In a 15-page set of policy suggestions released on Thursday, the ChatGPT maker argued that the hundreds of AI-related bills currently pending across the US risk undercutting America's technological progress at a time when it faces renewed competition from China. OpenAI said the administration should consider providing some relief for AI companies big and small from state rules - if and when enacted - in exchange for voluntary access to models.

OpenAI Calls for Federal Government to Preempt State AI Laws | PYMNTS.com
OpenAI has submitted several policy proposals to the White House, saying they will preserve American competitiveness in artificial intelligence (AI). The company's comments were submitted in response to the White House's request for information as it develops its AI Action Plan, OpenAI said in a Thursday (March 13) blog post. "OpenAI's freedom-focused policy proposals, taken together, can strengthen America's lead on AI and in doing so, unlock economic growth, lock in American competitiveness and protect our national security," OpenAI Chief Global Affairs Officer Christopher Lehane wrote in the comments submitted to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. One proposal calls for the federal government to preempt the states when it comes to AI-related laws, providing the industry with relief from the growing number of bills being considered by states. In exchange, AI companies that opt-in to this offer would give the federal government access to their AI models to ensure safety and test capabilities. Another proposal suggests that the federal government develop an export control strategy that not only restricts the flow of AI technologies to the People's Republic of China (PRC) but also makes it enhances the export of the technologies to democratic countries. A third proposal from OpenAI calls for greater application of the fair use doctrine to AI so that AI companies can use more information to train artificial intelligence models while still preserving the commercial value of copyrighted works. OpenAI also suggested that the federal government expand its efforts to support the building of AI infrastructure in the U.S. by, among other things, streamlining permitting processes, digitizing government data that is currently in analog form, and streamlining access to capital and supply chains. In a fifth proposal, the company suggested that the federal government "lead by example" by adopting artificial intelligence in its departments and agencies. "We look forward to discussing the above proposals with the Office of Science and Technology Policy as we continue to build on our relationship with the US government and work toward AI that benefits everyone," Lehane wrote. When asking the public to weigh in on policies for the AI Action Plan, the Office of Science and Technology Policy said it seeks comments on policies to prioritize to "enhance America's AI dominance and ensure that unnecessarily burdensome requirements do not hamper private sector innovation."

OpenAI submits policy proposals to the White House, advocating for federal preemption of state AI laws in exchange for voluntary access to AI models, aiming to maintain US competitiveness in AI development.
In a bold move to shape the future of artificial intelligence (AI) regulation in the United States, OpenAI has submitted a set of policy proposals to the White House. The company, known for its ChatGPT technology, is advocating for federal intervention to streamline AI governance and maintain America's competitive edge in the rapidly evolving field 1.
At the heart of OpenAI's suggestions is a call for the federal government to preempt state-level AI regulations. This proposal comes in response to the hundreds of AI-related bills currently pending across various states. OpenAI argues that this patchwork of potential regulations could hinder technological progress and weaken America's position in the global AI race, particularly against competitors like China 1.
In exchange for this regulatory relief, OpenAI proposes that AI companies voluntarily share their models with the federal government. This arrangement would allow for safety testing and capability assessment, potentially addressing concerns about AI oversight while maintaining a unified regulatory approach 2.
OpenAI's 15-page document outlines several other proposals aimed at bolstering America's AI leadership:
Export Control Strategy: Developing a framework that restricts AI technology exports to China while facilitating exports to democratic nations 2.
Fair Use Doctrine Expansion: Broadening the application of fair use to allow AI companies greater access to information for model training, while preserving the commercial value of copyrighted works 2.
AI Infrastructure Support: Streamlining permitting processes, digitizing government data, and improving access to capital and supply chains to enhance AI development in the U.S. 2.
Government AI Adoption: Encouraging federal departments and agencies to lead by example in adopting AI technologies 2.
These proposals were submitted in response to the White House's request for information as it develops its AI Action Plan. The Office of Science and Technology Policy specifically sought input on policies that could enhance America's AI dominance while ensuring that innovation is not hampered by overly burdensome requirements 2.
OpenAI's Chief Global Affairs Officer, Christopher Lehane, emphasized that these "freedom-focused policy proposals" aim to strengthen America's lead in AI, unlock economic growth, and protect national security 2.
