Politico reports OpenAI supports a key provision of the bipartisan FRONTIER Act
that would require leading AI firms to allow external assessment bodies to
verify model safety. Chris Lane, OpenAI's head of global affairs, said Tuesday
the company backs the measure, filed by Reps Jay Obernolte (R) and Lori Trahan
(D), which seeks to establish a federal AI safety framework and would require
top AI labs to admit independent verification organizations (IVOs) for onsite
checks. Lane said he met a sponsor on Capitol Hill Monday and "specifically
discussed how we view IVOs and made clear we can support this arrangement."
