What we know

There is currently no verifiable evidence that OpenAI is actively trying to shape the 2028 election. While a TechCrunch article discusses statements from OpenAI's Chris Lehane about AI's potential role in the 2028 election and proposals for a new social contract, there is insufficient independent reporting to confirm that OpenAI is taking concrete actions to influence the election. OpenAI is already trying to shape the 2028 election. Chris Lehane of OpenAI has proposed a new social contract involving AI and the 2028 election.

Why it matters

Lehane suggests that AI could help define the election and proposes a new social contract that could benefit Americans and OpenAI's business interests.
