OpenAI has proposed a "reverse federalism" model where state-level AI regulations would inform and shape federal policy rather than the other way around. The approach suggests allowing states to pioneer AI safety rules that could eventually form the basis of a coherent national standard. This strategy aims to balance localized governance experimentation with the development of consistent safeguards across the country.
