OpenAI compares artificial intelligence to the invention of the car. OpenAI says the US apparently did everything right compared to Europe. We want to repeat that. AI startups say developers who advance AI will drag the entire economy with them, benefiting everyone. The blueprint addressed to the government also says that this is an opportunity for re-industrialization.

Cars were invented in Europe. All experts should agree on this. However, OpenAI believes that Europe has taken the wrong path. Speed limits or Red Flag Acts are enforced – but only in Great Britain. This law required someone to walk in front of a car carrying a red flag to warn other road users.
“The US, on the other hand, took a very different approach to the automobile, bringing together private sector approaches and innovations with public interest to exploit the technology and its economic benefits – even despite the threat of World War I. ” This resulted in the United States becoming “the heart of the global automotive industry”. The German automotive industry may see it differently.

And other conclusions drawn by OpenAI are probably not acceptable to the majority. In the United States, unlike Europe, the government supported the switch from horse-drawn carriages to cars rather than preferring carriages. Additionally, there has been investment in better roads – at the federal level, not with individual state road networks. Although an order is currently issued by US President Joe Biden, who is still in office, states can enact additional laws. Now it is said that their number is more than 700. Of course, there is also an analogy to the question of the infrastructure and energy required for AI.
Competition for supremacy with China
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is also not a supporter of laws like the CHIPS Act. Although its purpose is indeed to benefit American industry, according to Altman it does not achieve the desired success. Biden recently introduced the so-called “Export Control Framework for Artificial Intelligence Diffusion.” It also aims to protect the US economy and security interests through export restrictions. Chip designers are now allowed to sell their advanced GPU accelerators without restrictions in only 18 countries – including Germany, but not China.
In the blueprint, Chris Lehane, vice president of global affairs at OpenAI, also warned that if the US does not win the race for AI dominance, China will win and the Chinese government will gain global influence. Noting in the paragraph that Altman has an appointment in Washington DC on January 30, i.e. after Donald Trump takes office as the new US President, the draft says: “We believe in America because America believes in innovation. Is.” Chips, data, energy and talent are the keys to victory. America will win the race.
Blueprint only affects large language models
In short, the draft specifically calls for AI to be less regulated, even if only at the federal level. Although OpenAI emphasizes that AI will benefit everyone, it writes that the blueprint should only be about larger language models. AI applications such as those used for early detection of cancer are not included. Additionally, the US government should ensure that AI companies can use secure infrastructure, such as classified computer clusters, to assess security risks and safeguards. How it should ensure this remains unclear.
It gets more specific here: The US government should make it easier for officials to access AI services so that taxpayers can benefit from a slimmer structure. Donald Trump is also planning to cut jobs within the government. So instead of paying people for their work, the state should pay OpenAI to provide the software.
However, it would be wise to ban AI companies from offering services that make it possible to create content that depicts child sexual abuse (CSAM). OpenAI also considers the requirement for watermarks as desirable. Finally, there are many calls to train people and develop a national AI strategy for education.
As a blueprint, paper is a “living document.”Therefore it can be further developed and changed at any time.
