OpenAI Plans to Launch AI Policy Initiative After U.S. Midterm Elections

OpenAI plans to immediately launch a series of policy initiatives and public relations actions following the conclusion of the U.S. midterm elections on November 3, in order to adapt to potential changes in the political landscape in Washington and influence the debate on AI policy for the 2028 presidential election. Chris Lehane, OpenAI's Chief Global Affairs Officer, stated that the company has been preparing relevant policy proposals since August and expects to kick off during the "lame duck session" of Congress starting on November 9. Specific measures include: advocating for mandatory safety safeguards for advanced AI systems, setting "speed limits" for AI development, and ensuring human control; easing resistance to data center construction through community cooperation agreements and state-level legislative proposals, and promoting the repositioning of new data centers as "AI computing power parks"; expanding AI education and training, as well as employment support, to help workers cope with technological changes; and promoting the establishment of global AI standards based on democratic values led by the U.S. Lehane believes that AI will be a core issue in the 2028 U.S. presidential election.
