OpenAI Outlines Proposal for Fewer Regulations to Incentivize New Projects

OpenAI outlined a proposal calling on the United States to support the artificial intelligence industry with a landmark infusion of funding and resources, previewing a potential lobbying and policy battle emerging for the incoming Trump administration. The proposal, presented by OpenAI’s head of global affairs, Chris Lehane, at a think tank event in Washington, calls for special economic zones with fewer regulations to incentivize new AI projects, a fleet of small nuclear reactors to power data centers aided by the U.S. Navy and a “North American Compact” allowing U.S. allies to collaborate to bolster the field, according to a document provided by OpenAI.
