OpenAI seeks to shape 2028 election with AI policy proposals

OpenAI's Chief Global Affairs Officer, Chris Lehane, has proposed a new policy agenda for the 2028 US presidential election, drawing parallels between AI's potential economic impact and Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. Lehane advocates for policies that address public concerns about AI, focusing on worker protections, education, AI safety, and data center development. However, critics like Kate Brennan from the AI Now Institute argue that OpenAI's proposals primarily benefit the company and lack concrete measures to ensure equitable distribution of AI's economic gains or accountability for potential disruptions. AI
