AI Rivalry Heats Up: OpenAI Urges U.S. to Accelerate AI Policy Reforms

OpenAI is getting tired of its long list of legal battles linked to training AI models.

The company has been in the line of fire for copyright issues linked to content used for training AI systems. This is why it wants the US Government to step in and roll out more fair use protections to enable AI model training to be done safely for the betterment of the world.

The latest proposal was submitted in the government’s direction with high hopes after it walked a tightrope in terms of lawsuits by media outlets and publishers that accuse it of violating copyrights. This is mostly related to training of its GPT-4 model.

The company has been very clear about this matter since day one. They’ve expressed how much they’ve wanted to see less heavy-handed rules to allow for growth and innovation. They argued how the nation’s success is mostly linked to fair doctrine use that gives tech giants the chance to learn and grow from different types of material.

The country already has so many AI firms and attracts plenty of investments. They’ve made a lot of breakthroughs in AI as well due to fair use of doctrine that allows more development in the AI world.

This context is very interesting considering the massive shuffle in terms of executive orders. After Trump removed the first executive order for AI rolled out by Biden, the company made a quick move to ensure it voiced its opinions on what would come next. They’re now expressing the desire to be a part of the AI Action Place. They also wish to work alongside the government as well as other leading tech giants and startup firms.

Some of the key points worth a mention here are that OpenAI wants the government to establish collaborations with private sector firms voluntarily. This is against the idea of forcing them to act with strict laws of the state in place.

Similarly, OpenAI wants a quicker approach to getting AI tools approved against federal security laws. This means reducing waiting time by nearly a year. Other than that, the makers of ChatGPT are asking for a new export control strategy. This is designed to market global acceptance for more AI systems based in the USA.

Other than all of these proposals, it raises serious issues with risks at stake, especially when it comes to AI archrivals from China like DeepSeek. The AI giant warned how the US is at the forefront of the AI race but the gap keeps narrowing quickly as more rivals keep popping up. They seem to be cutting corners that could put more user privacy and security rights at risk.

Clearly, OpenAI wants not only its own best interest but also America’s. For now, the ball lies in the court of Donald Trump and his administration to accept the theories or simply ignore.
