AI overview

OpenAI’s global affairs chief, Chris Lehane, has published five AI policy priorities intended to influence the 2028 U.S. election, though critics argue the agenda lacks binding measures to prevent AI gains from concentrating in a few hands. Lehane likened AI’s economic effect to the New Deal and urged action on worker protection, education, AI safety, and data-center construction. AI Now Institute researchers pushed back, saying the proposal assumes widespread AI adoption and broad social benefits, and pointing to OpenAI’s earlier opposition to California’s SB 1047 legislation.
