Chris Lehane, OpenAI's chief global affairs officer, announced that the company supports parts of a bipartisan bill called the FRONTIER Act in Congress. This bill would require large AI companies like OpenAI to undergo independent audits to assess their safety protocols and disclose any safety incidents related to their models. Although OpenAI backs the concept of third-party audits, it has not fully endorsed the entire bill. The company previously supported state-level legislation but this is its first support for a federal mandate on AI regulation.

ChatGPT maker OpenAI supports parts of a bipartisan bill in Congress that would require the largest AI companies to submit their large language models to independent audits, according to Chris Lehane, the company's chief global affairs officer.
uncertain
that → support → Lehane
OpenAI has previously backed state legislation to regulate AI, but this marks the first time the company has thrown its weight behind a federal mandate that would require a third-party group to assess AI developers' work.
asserted
that → back → work
Lehane expressed support for the proposal, which is included in a bill now before lawmakers called the FRONTIER Act, during a roundtable with lawmakers in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, an OpenAI spokesperson told CBS News.

spokesperson → express → News
Specifically, an independent organization would have to determine that an AI company's safety protocols are sufficiently rigorous to mitigate what the bill describes as "acceptable levels of catastrophic risk."
asserted
bill → have → risk
Lehane's comments come as AI researchers and developers warn about the potential for advanced AI to
.Patrolling frontier models
The FRONTIER Act, sponsored by Reps. Jay Obernolte, a Republican from California, and Lori Trahan, a Democrat from Massachusetts, would also require AI developers to publish reports on their models and disclose safety incidents.
Although OpenAI supports third-party audits of AI models, the company hasn't endorsed the bill in its entirety, the spokesperson noted.

spokesperson → come → entirety
In a Sept. 9 blog post, Lehane called for regulatory action to control AI development.
asserted
Lehane → call → development
OpenAI is calling for Congress to enact mandatory national AI safety requirements and advocates that leading AI developers collaborate to develop industry standards.
asserted
developers → call → standards
Advanced AI could accelerate the development of new medicines, strengthen critical infrastructure, expand economic opportunity, and help solve scientific problems that have resisted generations of human effort," Lehane wrote.
uncertain
Lehane → accelerate → effort
"But the capabilities that make models more useful also come with risks, and they will not remain confined to a few frontier laboratories."
Joseph Miller, an AI safety researcher and founder of PauseAI UK, a group that supports slowing AI development, said that the public debate over how to control potential AI risks is long overdue.
asserted
debate → make → risks
He also thinks leading AI developers are unlikely to take sufficiently strong measures to safeguard their technology absent government intervention.
asserted
developers → think → intervention
"We need government to lead on it, because they probably aren't going to do it without the government stepping in," Miller told CBS News.
