RALEIGH, N.C. - OpenAI OpCo LLC has added four lobbyists from Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton as North Carolina opens a statewide procurement for artificial intelligence platforms, bringing the company's registered representation to five and adding a former senior official of the department responsible for managing the competition. The appointments follow a documented OpenAI pilot with State Treasurer Brad Briner's office and come as the General Assembly considers proposals governing AI safety, education, and consumer protection.
Dylan Reel, Dylan Frick, Trafton Dinwiddie, and Story Oliver now represent OpenAI through Kilpatrick's Raleigh government-relations practice. They join Caulder Harvill-Childs, the company's existing registered representative and its regional public-policy executive for the southeastern United States. The arrangement gives OpenAI a combination of corporate government-affairs representation and outside advisers with experience in legislative leadership, executive agencies, technology procurement, and state budgeting.
