OpenAI CEO Sam Altman drew a clear line during his Capitol Hill visit this week: the company isn't aligning with certain lobbying efforts.
The message to lawmakers
Altman met with lawmakers and made clear that OpenAI is not behind some of the lobbying campaigns that have surfaced in Washington. He didn't name specific efforts, but his statement shifts the company away from political advocacy tied to the tech sector.
The visit comes as lawmakers debate new rules for artificial intelligence. Altman's distancing signals the company's intention to keep its policy work separate from broader industry lobbying.
