OpenAI partners with PNNL to test AI for accelerating federal infrastructure permitting

OpenAI has partnered with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) to explore how AI can accelerate federal permitting processes. A new benchmark, DraftNEPABench, was developed with subject matter experts to assess AI's performance on tasks related to environmental impact statements. Initial findings suggest that generalized coding agents could reduce drafting time for these documents by up to 15%, potentially speeding up the review of critical infrastructure projects. AI
