OpenAI Asks White House for Relief From State AI Rules
[ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw]

Thu, Mar 13, 2025, 6:00 AM 2 min read

(Bloomberg) -- 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.

The recommendation was one of several included in OpenAI's response
to a request for public input issued by the White House Office of
Science and Technology Policy in February as the administration
drafts a new policy to ensure US dominance in AI. President Donald
Trump previously rescinded the Biden administration's sprawling
executive order on AI and tasked the science office with developing
an AI Action Plan by July.

To date, there has been a notable absence of federal legislation
governing the AI sector. The Trump administration has generally
signaled its intention to take a hands-off approach to regulating the
technology. But many states are actively weighing new measures on
everything from deepfakes to bias in AI systems.

Chris Lehane, OpenAI's vice president of global affairs, said in an
interview that the US AI Safety Institute - a key government group
focused on AI - could act as the main point of contact between the
federal government and the private sector. If companies work with the
group voluntarily to review models, the government could provide them
"with liability protections including preemption from state based
regulations that focus on frontier model security," according to the
proposal.

"Part of the incentive for doing that ought to be that you don't have
to go through the state stuff, which is not going to be anywhere near
as good as what the federal level would be," Lehane said.

In its policy recommendations, OpenAI also reiterated its call for
the government to take steps to support AI infrastructure investments
and called for copyright reform, arguing that America's fair use
doctrine is critical to maintaining AI leadership. OpenAI and other
AI developers have faced numerous copyright lawsuits over the data
used to build their models.

Story Continues

If China's "developers have unfettered access to data and American
companies are left without fair use access," the company said, "the
race for AI is effectively over."

OpenAI also proposed that AI companies get access to government-held
data, which could include health-care information, Lehane said. Such
information would help "boost AI development," the company said, and
could "be particularly important if shifting copyright rules restrict
American companies' access to training data."
