OpenAI urges UK lawmakers to rein in technology amid growing safety fears
Posted: 15th Sep 2026
OpenAI has urged British lawmakers to capitalise on renewed fears over AI safety and impose legislation reining in the technology.
The company behind ChatGPT said the UK government should act immediately, following a call by its arch-rival Anthropic to curb AI development.
“We support stronger UK rules for the handful of companies, including OpenAI, developing the most powerful AI systems,” said OpenAI’s head of policy in Europe, Tom Duff Gordon.
However, the tech company said legislation should be narrowly focused on the most advanced AI labs and not startups working on less powerful systems.
