Summary
Washington meetings this week let Sam Altman preview an upcoming OpenAI system built around “agents” that can divide tasks, according to the latest report.
The outreach comes weeks after the U.S. government showed it could restrict leading AI companies from launching new models, raising the stakes for OpenAI’s policy push.
Altman has been meeting Trump administration officials, lawmakers and economists, including White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, to discuss AI policy, cybersecurity and U.S. competitiveness.
August 1 is the next key marker: the Trump administration is due to finalize an AI executive-order framework as OpenAI presses the case that its new system could reshape the U.S. economy.
