OpenAI's Altman to urge US lawmakers not to require AI model approvals
Altman is set to discuss the order with officials as OpenAI backs voluntary model access for up to 30 days before release, company and lawmakers said.
- On Wednesday, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman met with White House officials and lawmakers in Washington to discuss President Donald Trump's new artificial intelligence executive order signed this week.
- President Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday asking AI companies to voluntarily provide government access to their models for up to 30 days before public release, targeting cybersecurity risks.
- OpenAI executive Chris Lehane called the order a "validation" of company efforts but expressed concerns about classified "benchmarking" processes and advocated for expanding CAISI's evaluation role.
- Altman also met with House Speaker Mike Johnson and Sen. Bernie Sanders to discuss legislative frameworks, while Rep. Jay Obernolte is reportedly "very close" to a draft regulation proposal.
- Agencies have 60 days to finalize details under the order, giving OpenAI time to shape outcomes as it pushes for mandatory evaluation processes while opposing government approval requirements for new model releases.
