OpenAI public policy agenda

OpenAI has outlined its comprehensive public policy agenda to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits humanity, driven by core principles of democratization, empowerment, universal prosperity, resilience, and adaptability. The company engages with governments and civil society to help policymakers understand technology impacts and shape supportive policies. In the area of frontier AI safety, OpenAI supports state-level efforts in the US such as California SB 53, the New York RAISE Act, and Illinois SB 315, which emphasize transparency, public reporting on catastrophic risks, whistleblower protections, and accountability. It also calls for comprehensive federal frameworks that strengthen the Center for AI Standards and Innovation as the primary institution for frontier safety evaluations and monitoring of recursive self-improvement. Globally, OpenAI highlights its early adoption of the EU AI Act Code of Practice and voluntary agreements with safety institutes in the US and UK. Regarding cybersecurity, the company advocates for trusted access to AI-powered cyber defense tools and stronger public-private partnerships. For youth protection, OpenAI supports risk-based regulations for teen safety, privacy-preserving age assurance, accessible parental controls, crisis-response protocols, and restrictions on targeted advertising to minors, while endorsing the Parents and Kids Safe AI Coalition's efforts. The company stresses that as AI continues to evolve, its policy priorities and areas of engagement will adapt accordingly to address new opportunities and challenges.
