US lawmakers send a letter to OpenAI requesting government access
Congressional Democrats asked the AI firm, “What is the percentage of computing resources that OpenAI is dedicating to AI safety research?”
Senate Democrats and one independent lawmaker have sent a letter to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman regarding the company’s safety standards and employment practices toward whistleblowers.
Perhaps the most significant portion of the letter, first obtained by The Washington Post, was item 9, which read, “Will OpenAI commit to making its next foundation model available to U.S. Government agencies for pre-deployment testing, review, analysis, and assessment?”
The letter outlined 11 additional points to be addressed, including securing OpenAI’s commitment to dedicating 20% of its computing power to fuel safety research and protocols to prevent a malicious actor or foreign adversary from stealing AI products from OpenAI.
