OpenAI and Google are urging the US government to take decisive action to secure the nation's leadership in Artificial Intelligence. In letters to the Office of Science and Technology Policy, both companies emphasized the importance of maintaining America's lead in AI, especially as competitors like China rapidly advance. OpenAI highlighted the potential of AI to drive productivity and likened its advancements to historical leaps in innovation, advocating for open access while safeguarding against autocratic control.
They warned that America's technological lead in AI is "not wide and is narrowing". The recent submissions from March 2025 highlight urgent concerns about national security risks, economic competitiveness, and the need for strategic regulatory frameworks to maintain US leadership in AI development amid growing global competition. The emergence of China's Deepseek R1 model has triggered significant concern among major US AI developers, who view it as compelling evidence that the technological gap is quickly closing.

OpenAI is pushing for policies that promote AI innovation and maintain America's leadership in the AI landscape. In a proposal submitted to the White House’s Office of Science and Technology Policy, OpenAI advocates for policies ensuring AI innovation remains unfettered, warning of threats from Chinese AI models and urging the US government to support the AI industry. They emphasize the importance of the "freedom to innovate," cautioning that overregulation could hinder American AI leadership, potentially benefiting competitors like China.
OpenAI stresses the significance of fair use under U.S. copyright law, viewing it as an advantage in facilitating AI development and innovation. Specifically, it urges the U.S. government to codify the right to train AI models on publicly available data, including copyrighted material, without undue restriction. They argue that limiting access to copyrighted data for AI training would disadvantage American firms against China, where AI developers have unfettered access to data. Recommended read:

OpenAI, alongside Anthropic and Google, has recently urged the US government to take decisive action to maintain America's leadership in artificial intelligence. In documents submitted to the US government in response to a request for information on developing an AI Action Plan, these leading companies warned that the U.S.'s technological lead in AI "is not wide and is narrowing," particularly in light of advancements from Chinese models like Deepseek R1. This situation presents concerns about national security risks, economic competitiveness, and the need for strategic regulatory frameworks to ensure the US remains at the forefront of AI development.
The emergence of China's Deepseek R1 model has triggered alarm bells among major US AI developers. OpenAI explicitly stated that "Deepseek shows that our lead is not wide and is narrowing," characterizing the model as “simultaneously state-subsidized, state-controlled, and freely available." This sentiment reflects broader concerns about the increasing capabilities of Chinese AI, and has led OpenAI to push for policies allowing AI models to train on copyrighted material. It is feared that unless the US acts, it could forfeit its AI lead to the PRC. Recommended read:

President Donald Trump has rescinded Joe Biden's executive order on artificial intelligence (AI) safety, a move that eliminates federal oversight and mandatory safety testing requirements for AI companies. This action, taken on Trump’s first day back in office, is one of about 80 executive orders from the previous administration that he overturned. The now-defunct order required companies developing powerful AI to share test results with the government before public release. Trump's administration has not announced a replacement policy, signaling a deregulation-focused approach for AI development, which is viewed by some as a way to accelerate the global AI race.
The reversal of Biden's AI safety rules has prompted questions regarding the future of the U.S. AI Safety Institute and has led to concerns about a regulatory gap within the United States. While federal regulations are rolled back, state-level AI regulations in places like California, Colorado, and Illinois remain in effect, creating a patchwork of rules across the country. Some speculate that the Trump administration might have used AI to help draft the executive orders, which some experts are calling "poor, slipshod work" due to typos, formatting errors and stilted language.
