OPENAI
OpenAI has shared a plan outlining how the U.S. can stay ahead in artificial intelligence.
It focuses on funding, infrastructure, and clear rules to encourage innovation while protecting national interests.
Here’s what the plan highlights:
OpenAI wants the government to invest more in power, data centres, and clean energy like solar, wind, and nuclear. The plan also calls for faster processes to build key facilities like data centres.
With nearly 700 state-level AI bills introduced last year, many with conflicting rules, OpenAI says a consistent federal approach is essential. They suggest voluntary guidelines for companies instead of strict regulations.
OpenAI recommends sharing AI technologies with allies but limiting access for adversaries. They also suggest sharing national security information with AI companies to prevent misuse and improve safety.
Let’s talk bureaucracy, but briefly
The plan also addresses copyright, supporting AI’s use of publicly available data while ensuring creators are protected.
OpenAI warns that overly strict rules could shift AI progress to other countries, weakening U.S. competitiveness.
OpenAI has increased its lobbying efforts, spending more than three times as much last year to influence AI policies.
It supports federal programs for AI research but opposes laws it believes would slow innovation, such as California’s SB 1047.
All that data gotta be stored somewhere.
