OpenAI to Establish First Office in Washington, D.C.
OpenAI will open its first office in Washington, D.C., early next year. This move is part of the company's strategy to deepen its engagement with lawmakers and regulators. The new office will serve as a hub for OpenAI's policy initiatives and a venue for showcasing its products.
The office, named "The Workshop," will provide a space for policymakers, educators, and nonprofit leaders to engage with OpenAI's technology. It will offer training sessions and early previews of new products. The D.C. office will be led by Chan Park, head of global affairs for the U.S. and Canada, and Joe Larson, who will oversee the public sector business.
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, is scheduled to speak at a Federal Reserve conference in D.C. soon. This follows the company's recent launch of "OpenAI for Government" and a significant contract with the U.S. Department of Defense.
OpenAI's expansion into Washington, D.C., reflects its ongoing efforts to influence AI policy and expand its partnerships within the government sector.
