Artificial intelligence giant OpenAI is supporting a bipartisan House proposal that would require top AI companies to embed outside evaluators to ensure their models are safe. Chris Lehane, chief global affairs officer at OpenAI, told reporters on Tuesday that the company backs a key provision of the FRONTIER Act, legislation from Reps. Jay Obernolte (R-Calif.) and Lori Trahan (D-Mass.) that would create the first federal framework for AI safety. Among other provisions, the legislation would force top AI labs to allow “independent verification organizations,” or IVOs, into their companies to make sure their models are developed safely. In a Monday meeting on Capitol Hill, Lehane said he sat down with one of the bill’s sponsors and “specifically talked about how we think about IVO and made clear that we can support that.”
