Industry calls for US leadership in AI as a democratic imperative
"The world is converging onto two AI stacks. One is championed by the People's Republic of China (PRC), state-directed, closed, and surveillance-heavy; ours is democratic, market-driven, and safety-aligned. Every country will end up on one of these two stacks, whether they choose to or not. The strategic imperative for the US is to ensure that the democratic stack prevails."
"Schwartz outlined OpenAI's export policy priorities, which aligned into three major pillars: partnering with the government to advance democratic standards; incentivizing democratic AI and strengthening critical supply chains; and using a consortium model to build a U.S.-led global AI stack. The proposed consortium would offer international partners a stake in the U.S. tech stack, something OpenAI suggested the ITA Advocacy Center would oversee. OpenAI said that this type of collaboration develops mutually beneficial international partnerships."
Leading technology companies including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Amazon Web Services support an American AI Exports Program to leverage the U.S. AI stack to promote democratic uses of AI. The Commerce Department's International Trade Administration issued a request for information following a July executive order and closed comments on Dec. 13. OpenAI framed a strategic choice between a PRC-led, state-directed surveillance stack and a democratic, market-driven stack, urging U.S. leadership. OpenAI proposed three export-policy pillars: governmental partnerships to advance democratic standards, incentives for democratic AI and resilient supply chains, and a consortium model giving international partners stakes in the U.S. tech stack.
