“This framework would extend the tradition of government receiving learnings and access, where appropriate, in exchange for providing the private sector relief from the 781 and counting proposed AI-related bills already introduced this year in US states. This patchwork of regulations risks bogging down innovation and, in the case of AI, undermining America’s leadership position.”

Condition liability relief on federal safety-institute partnership
Give developers who voluntarily work with the federal government on model evaluation a shield from state enforcement and reduced liability exposure, preemption paid for with access.
Where it stands
OpenAI's March 2025 formula, voluntary partnership in exchange for relief from state rules, has been half-realized as of July 2026: EO 14409 (June 2026) creates the voluntary pre-release engagement channel and EO 14365 pursues the state-law relief through litigation and funding leverage, but no statutory liability protection or safe harbor for participating developers exists.
