OpenAI supports the creation of global regulatory standards for artificial intelligence and believes democratic countries should lead the process, the company’s chief global affairs officer Chris Lehane told Hindustan Times on Thursday, hours after CEO Sam Altman called for “something like the IAEA” to govern the technology. “Yes, we are,” Lehane said when asked whether OpenAI was endorsing the need for global regulation. “We believe you need new rules for a new thing, consistent with the idea of democratising access.” Major US technology companies have historically resisted binding regulation during their growth phases, and the current American administration has moved sharply in the opposite direction — revoking Biden-era AI safeguards and signalling a preference for industry self-governance.

When AI enters a classroom, the measure of success is not whether students are using it but whether they are learning while they do, said Elizabeth Kelly, who leads beneficial deployment work at Anthropic.
