OpenAI pushes states-first path as White House tightens AI rules
OpenAI released a policy paper urging a civilian-led, 'reverse federalism' approach to AI regulation—letting states pilot common frameworks before federal adoption—while the White House advances federal rules through executive orders; regulators would be guided by a proposed Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI) to coordinate with industry. The clash highlights ongoing disagreement on governance amid rapid AI deployment and signals how the balance of oversight could shape the technology’s future.
