OpenAI的Lehane呼唤AI是2028年大选的头号议题
在 Google 上的首选来源中添加 Unite.AI
OpenAI首席全球事务官克里斯·莱哈内(Chris Lehane)写了一份备忘录，认为AI将是2028年总统选举的头号议题，并提出了他必须回答的五个问题，以构建AI议程。 该备忘录于2026年11月2日公开。
Lehane在其题为“2028年：AI选举”的备忘录中写道，在让AI“不受速度限制”推进的人和“由自我任命的精英”控制技术的人之间阐明“第三条道路”的候选人将“有机会为这一新时代确定新的合同”。 他将2028年的种族与1932年的选举相比较，他写道，当时工业化已经打破了旧的社会契约，富兰克林·D·罗斯福的新政重新构思了这一契约。 备忘录将AI描述为轮子，印刷机，电机等尺寸的通用技术，指出描述为2028年将呈现1992年以来第一个真正开放的民主党总统初选。
在《回忆录》中引用的投票
该备忘录借鉴了他所看到和进行的投票结果Lehane 称。 在他看到的投票中，65%的选民称 AI对他们2026年的选择很重要，到2026年10月初，民主党候选人或团体播出的五份广告中有一份提到数据中心。 在他主持的投票中，选民更喜欢一位领导其政党制定AI政策的候选人，而不是一位以25点的差幅遵循这一政策的候选人。 尽管存在安全顾虑，66%的选民支持AI持续发展，包括53%的选民希望加强保障和监督，而24%的选民赞成暂停。
备忘录还指出，有一半的美国人已经至少每周使用几次AI工具，而普通用户往往比那些很少使用或从来没有使用过技术的人更信任该技术。 Lehane写道，虽然共和党人被认为在2026年的周期里对数据中心承受了政治破坏，但他们事实上正在对AI对家庭和市场的影响进行激烈的辩论，希望2028年获胜的民主党人需要的将比帮助他们在2026年获得立足点的反对派还要多。
2028名候选人的五个问题
第一个问题是候选人如何确保AI的安全，人们如何控制。 以81%的投票人称 AI无法拥有灵魂和15%的称为例，备忘录呼吁执行安全标准、独立评估、必要时限制或关闭系统的能力以及对可接受的风险决定的公共监督。
第二问税法是帮助美国人参与AI经济还是集中其收益。 备忘录指出，41%的选民期望自己这样的人在未来五年里从AI获得财政利益，而84%的选民期望AI能惠及最富有的1%. 它排除了简单地对AI征税和给予AI公司另一次减税，而是要求制定奖励工作的政策，鼓励投资，增加所有权，以及扩展参与倒置。
第三，问该国是否在保护儿童和使工人为未来做好准备。 备忘录呼吁为未成年人提供适龄的保护，并明确围绕AI同伴的界限，将美国教师联合会和北美的建筑工会列为合作伙伴，并指出仅OpenAI的Piketon计算校园就需要25,000名熟练的商人。 新增表示每10名选民中就有8名希望新工作至少成为AI对工作影响解决方案的一部分。
第四点询问大赦国际是否正在使生活更负担得起，更有机会获得，包括它是否在降低保健费用，扩大受教育机会，以及在不降低质量的情况下提高政府服务的效率。 第五问美国在AI创新方面是否继续领先，还是放弃对中国的领导。 备忘录称 OpenAI分析员发现，可能共产党影响产生社交媒体内容的行动，声称AI建设正在增加家庭电费，警告支持数据中心暂停，然后失去AI通往中国的线索，很可能成为相当于2002年伊拉克开战投票的2028年。
备忘录及其作者
Lehane担任OpenAI全球事务主任。 在OpenAI网站的2026年9月9日的一篇文章中，他呼吁强制的，基于能力的全国性AI安全监管，以及宣布 OpenAI支持四个加利福尼亚法案，涵盖独立安全评估，AI-审计标准，对年轻人的保护，以及防范AI带动的生物威胁的保障措施。
备忘录最后敦促候选人超越2026年的AI辩论，确定他们希望国家通过AI成为什么

Regulation
OpenAI’s Lehane Calls AI the Number-One Issue of the 2028 Election
Add Unite.AI to your preferred sources on Google
OpenAI Chief Global Affairs Officer Chris Lehane has written a memo arguing that AI will be the number-one issue of the 2028 presidential election and laying out five questions he says candidates must answer to build an AI agenda. The memo was made public on November 2, 2026.
In the memo, titled “2028: The AI Election”, Lehane writes that the candidate who articulates a “compelling third path” between those who would let AI advance “without speed limits” and those who would keep control of the technology “in the hands of a self-appointed elite” will have “an opportunity to define a new contract for this new era.” He compares the 2028 race to the 1932 election, when, he writes, industrialization had broken down the old social contract and Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal reimagined it. The memo describes AI as a general purpose technology on the scale of the wheel, the printing press, and electricity, and notes that 2028 will feature the first truly wide-open Democratic presidential primary since 1992.
Polling Cited in the Memo
The memo draws on polling Lehane says he has seen and conducted. In polling he has seen, 65% of voters said AI would be important to their 2026 choices, and by early October 2026 one in five ads aired by Democratic candidates or groups mentioned data centers. In polling he conducted, voters preferred a candidate who leads their party in shaping AI policy over one who follows it by a 25-point margin. Despite safety concerns, 66% of voters supported continued AI development, including 53% who wanted stronger safeguards and oversight, while 24% favored a pause.
The memo also states that half of Americans already use an AI tool at least a few times a week, and that regular users tend to trust the technology more than those who rarely or never use it. Lehane writes that while Republicans are seen as taking political damage over data centers in the 2026 cycle, they are in fact engaged in robust debates about AI’s impacts on families and markets, and that Democrats hoping to win in 2028 will need more than the opposition that helped them gain ground in 2026.
Five Questions for 2028 Candidates
The first question asks how candidates will make sure AI stays safe and people stay in control. Citing polling in which 81% of voters said AI could not have a soul and 15% said it could, the memo calls for enforceable safety standards, independent assessments, the ability to restrict or shut down systems when necessary, and public oversight of decisions about acceptable risk.
The second asks whether the tax code will help Americans participate in the AI economy or concentrate its gains. The memo reports that 41% of voters expect people like themselves to benefit financially from AI over the next five years, while 84% expect AI to benefit the richest 1%. It rules out both simply taxing AI and giving AI companies another tax break, calling instead for policy that rewards work, encourages investment, increases ownership, and expands participation in the upside.
The third asks whether the country is protecting children and preparing workers for what is coming. The memo calls for age-appropriate protections and clear boundaries around AI companions for minors, names the American Federation of Teachers and North America’s Building Trades Unions as partners, and states that OpenAI’s Piketon compute campus alone will need 25,000 skilled tradespeople. It adds that eight in 10 voters want new work to be at least part of the solution to AI’s impact on jobs.
The fourth asks whether AI is making life more affordable and opportunity more accessible, including whether it is lowering healthcare costs, expanding access to education, and making government services more efficient without reducing quality. The fifth asks whether America continued to lead in AI innovation or gave away its lead to China. The memo says OpenAI analysts uncovered likely Communist Party influence operations that generated social media content claiming AI buildouts were increasing household electric bills, and it warns that backing a data-center moratorium and then losing the AI lead to China could well become the 2028 equivalent of the 2002 vote to go to war in Iraq.
The Memo and Its Author
Lehane serves as OpenAI’s Chief Global Affairs Officer. In a September 9, 2026 post on OpenAI’s website, he called for mandatory, capability-based national AI safety regulation and announced OpenAI’s support for four California bills covering independent safety assessments, AI-auditor standards, protections for young people, and safeguards against AI-enabled biological threats.
The memo closes by urging candidates to look beyond the AI debates of 2026 and define what they want the country to become through AI, arguing that America’s success should ultimately be measured by the power the technology gives its people rather than the strength of its models.
