OpenAI executive urges New Deal-style policies for 2028 election

OpenAI's global affairs chief Chris Lehane published an essay comparing AI's economic disruption to the pre-New Deal era, laying out five policy priorities covering worker protections, education, safety and data centers. He urged politicians to offer a "compelling third path" that shares AI's benefits with Americans rather than merely echoing anti-AI sentiment. Observers note the shift from OpenAI's earlier push to accelerate AI and cut regulation.
