OpenAI's Public Policy Agenda

OpenAI's mission is to ensure that AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) benefits all of humanity. To this end, it adheres to 5 core principles in building technology and engaging in public policy.

The core principles are as follows:

• Democratization: Preventing the concentration of technological power in the hands of a few
• Empowerment: Helping individuals achieve their goals and promoting social benefit
• Universal prosperity: Aiming for a future where everyone can lead a great life
• Resilience: Working with the ecosystem and governments to jointly respond to emerging risks
• Adaptability: Maintaining a flexible stance to prepare for an unpredictable future

In terms of Safety, one of the key policy priorities, OpenAI emphasizes the security and accountability of frontier models. It considers cutting-edge models capable of posing cyber and CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear)-related risks to be a matter directly tied to national security.

OpenAI supports major U.S. state laws (such as California SB 53 and the New York RAISE Act) that emphasize transparency, incident reporting, whistleblower protection, and developer accountability, and calls for building a comprehensive federal framework based on them. In particular, it proposes strengthening CAISI (Center for AI Standards and Innovation) to create an independent evaluation ecosystem for frontier models.
