OpenAI Asks Washington To Bind It

The Signal · 2026-09-12

The lab that wrote the voluntary pledges now wants a law. OpenAI is calling for binding federal rules on frontier AI: common testing standards, independent assessments, cybersecurity mandates, and incident reporting. The ask lands just before Congress takes up the issue.

Also today: An Anthropic researcher resigned and posted publicly that the company is racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives.

A New Mexico lawyer was fined five thousand dollars for filing an appeal containing AI-fabricated witnesses and fake police testimony in a murder case.

That's today's Signal. Thanks for watching.
