OpenAI backed the FRONTIER Act’s independent-audit clause
POLITICO and CBS News reported that OpenAI's Chris Lehane backed the FRONTIER Act clause on independent verification of lab safety protocols. A spokesperson said the company has not endorsed the whole bill. Jay Obernolte and Lori Trahan are the sponsors. Neither report named a vote date. If the clause becomes law, third-party audits would no longer be optional.
