OpenAI's Strategic Move to Washington, DC

In a bold step to deepen its engagement with policymakers and the public, OpenAI is set to inaugurate its first office in Washington, DC. Dubbed "The Workshop," this innovative space is designed to demystify AI technology for a broader audience.

Empowering Through Education and Early Access

The Workshop will offer specialized training sessions on OpenAI's cutting-edge tools, targeting lawmakers, educators, and nonprofit leaders. Select participants might even gain preview access to forthcoming innovations. According to Chris Lehane, OpenAI's global affairs chief, experiencing the technology firsthand is pivotal. "Our technology stands as our most compelling advocate, educator, and lobbyist," Lehane emphasized.

Leadership at the Helm

Steering this initiative are Chan Park and Joe Larson, the latter transitioning from defense firm Anduril, bringing a wealth of experience to OpenAI's ambitious project.
