OpenAI Pitches Potential 2028 Presidential Candidates on AI Messaging

AI Regulation• AI Policy • 15 sources • 16 posts • OpenAI

The developer of ChatGPT is engaging with figures likely to seek the U.S. presidency in the next election cycle to steer the political narrative and framing of artificial intelligence issues. The effort, reported by Politico, is part of a strategic push to shape how future leaders discuss the regulation and implementation of AI before the 2028 campaign takes shape.

This outreach precedes a broader policy campaign starting after the midterm elections on Tuesday. During the lame-duck session opening Nov. 9, the company plans to lobby Congress for mandatory "speed limits" on high-capacity AI models and rename its data centers "AI compute campuses" to mitigate local public backlash. Chief global affairs officer Chris Lehane said that AI will be a central issue in the 2028 presidential race.
