Our user base reflects that commitment:⁠ we have as many women as men using our tools, more users both under and over age 30 than any other AI platform, and more users earning under $100,000 than over $100,000—mirroring the broader global workforce.

That’s why OpenAI engages with governments and civil society around the world: to help policymakers understand our technology and its impacts, improve how governments function and deliver value to their constituents, expand the ability of people to participate in and benefit from democratic institutions, and shape policies that advance our mission of ensuring that AGI benefits all of humanity.

The following priorities reflect how we translate our mission⁠ and our principles⁠ into public policy. We support policies that help governments and society respond to the opportunities and challenges created by AI, mitigate risks, expand access to opportunity, and ensure people can meaningfully participate in and benefit from the AI economy. Together, these priorities are intended to help governments better serve their constituents while advancing our mission of ensuring that AGI benefits all of humanity. They represent some of the areas where we are most actively engaging today, but this list is not exhaustive. As AI evolves, we also expect our policy priorities and areas of engagement to continue to evolve as well.

We believe frontier AI safety is a national security and public safety issue, particularly for the most advanced general-purpose AI models, which can create risks related to cyber, chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) weapons. In the US, we support state efforts to align around common frameworks such as California SB 53⁠(opens in a new window),the New York RAISE Act⁠(opens in a new window), and Illinois SB 315⁠(opens in a new window) which emphasize transparency, public reporting around catastrophic-risk evaluations and safety incidents, whistleblower protections, and enforceable accountability for developers that fail to meet their safety and security responsibilities. These state-level approaches can help establish harmonized standards that reduce fragmentation and create a path toward an eventual federal framework.
