OpenAI's Chris Lehane Calls for Durable AI Governance and Empirical Safety Standards

Original title:The AI policy window is open. We need to act.

Opinions71

OpenAI policy chief Chris Lehane argues that the current legislative window to govern artificial intelligence is rapidly narrowing. As model capabilities expand, Lehane contends that vague commitments must give way to concrete safety evidence, shared technical standards, and durable regulatory frameworks. The essay marks an effort by OpenAI to anchor future oversight in empirical testing rather than abstract consensus.
