How OpenAI’s new policy blueprint for AI imagines the role of government

OpenAI is releasing an artificial intelligence infrastructure blueprint meant to highlight its vision for American AI, which the company argues will boost productivity and jumpstart advanced technology development. The release of the blueprint, which was viewed by FedScoop and was set to be presented in Washington on Wednesday, comes as the Biden administration continues to push for government support for data centers, artificial intelligence, and semiconductors. At the same time, the government’s approach to AI is still taking shape — and companies like OpenAI are using the opportunity to advocate for policies that would make way for infrastructure and energy projects that would benefit them. On the same day outgoing President Joe Biden met with President-elect Donald Trump to discuss the transition between them, a top White House cyber official made some recommendations for early cyber priorities for the incoming administration. In its first 100 days, the Trump administration should build a framework for minimum cybersecurity standards for critical infrastructure companies, establish cybersecurity grants for those in need and deepen international partnerships, said Anne Neuberger, Biden’s deputy national security adviser for cyber and emerging technology. Neuberger offered those suggestions at an event Wednesday hosted by the Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs in what she called the bipartisan tradition of cybersecurity, having received “the baton” from the prior administrations and passing it on in a world of threats heavily dominated by China, ransomware and artificial intelligence.
