Comment by Chris Lehane

While we continue to believe a single national safety standard for frontier AI models established by federal legislation remains the best way to protect people and support innovation, the combination of the Empire State with the Golden State is a big step in the right direction.

Quote attributed to Chris Lehane (OpenAI Chief Global Affairs Officer) reacting to New York's RAISE Act (2025). The grip.globalrelay.com URL returns HTTP 403 to automated fetches, but a web search confirms the quote verbatim: Lehane said that while he believes "a single national safety standard for frontier AI models established by federal legislation remains the best way to protect people and support innovation, the combination of the Empire State with the Golden State is a big step in the right direction." Author attribution and year (2025) are correct. The vote "for" on statement "Mandate 72-hour reporting of critical AI safety incidents to a national authority" aligns directionally: the NY RAISE Act and California's frontier AI transparency law (the "Empire State with the Golden State" combination Lehane endorses) both include critical safety incident reporting requirements (72-hour disclosure), and Lehane's stated preference is precisely for such frontier-AI safety standards to be established at the national/federal level. His endorsement of these laws as "a big step in the right direction," plus his explicit call for a single national standard, supports a "for" vote on mandating such national-level incident reporting. Note: the quote is a general endorsement of national frontier-AI safety standards rather than specifically naming 72-hour reporting, but it is directionally consistent with supporting it.
