Our Views on AI Policy and Political Advocacy
OpenAI, Monday, June 1st, 2026
OpenAI outlines its stance on AI policy and political advocacy, rejecting PACs and corporate donations.
OpenAI published a statement clarifying its approach to AI policy and political engagement, emphasizing that the future of AI should be shaped by governments, researchers, workers, civil society, and the public rather than any single company. The company explicitly stated it has not created or funded Political Action Committees, made donations to super PACs, or contributed to political candidates or campaigns.
OpenAI acknowledged that while employees are free to engage in politics personally, outside political groups do not speak for the company, and it commits to being transparent about its policy positions and held to high standards in advocating for thoughtful regulation, rigorous testing, strong safety standards, and broad access to AI benefits.
