OpenAI's active shaping of Adam's Law represents an abrupt departure from its 2025 position opposing state-level AI regulation, when the company argued it would create compliance confusion and excessive burden. In 2025, VP Chris LeHane had supported Congressional Republicans and the Trump White House efforts toward a federal moratorium on state-level regulations.
