OpenAI Seeks Relief From US State Rules

Many US states are actively weighing new measures on everything from deepfakes to bias in AI systems

OpenAI has asked the Trump administration to help shield artificial intelligence (AI) 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.
