- OpenAI says it has not donated to any super PACs.
- OpenAI says it does not have an employee‑funded political action committee.
- Greg Brockman says his support for the “Leading the Future” group is personal, not on behalf of OpenAI.
Why it matters: Zero PAC donations means investors and regulators see less risk of AI lobbying influencing policy, which could smooth future regulatory approvals and reduce political scrutiny of OpenAI's product roadmap.
