Overview
- Attorneys General Derek Brown of Utah and Jeff Jackson of North Carolina unveiled a standing forum that brings state enforcers together with OpenAI and Microsoft.
- The effort, facilitated by the Attorney General Alliance, plans to recruit additional state regulators and AI companies as work begins.
- Priorities include identifying emerging risks, setting basic developer safeguards with an emphasis on protecting children, and coordinating timely responses to new challenges.
- Any guardrails will be voluntary, but officials say the forum could streamline joint investigations or legal action if consumer harm occurs.
- Industry policies diverge on sensitive content—highlighted by recent statements from OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Microsoft’s Mustafa Suleyman—and some experts question giving developers formal seats on the task force.
