Key point

OpenAI has proposed 'people-first' industrial policy ideas aimed at expanding opportunity and sharing prosperity in preparation for the age of superintelligence.

Details

As the world transitions toward the era of Superintelligence, incremental policy updates alone are not enough. OpenAI has proposed 'people-first' industrial policy ideas aimed at expanding opportunity, sharing prosperity, and building resilient institutions.

This proposal is not a finished set of recommendations but an early, exploratory set of ideas meant to be refined and developed further through democratic processes. To keep the discussion moving forward, OpenAI is pursuing the following activities:

  • Gathering feedback: Collecting input through a dedicated email
  • Pilot programs: Supporting policy research through fellowships and research grants (up to $100,000) and API credits (up to $1 million)
  • Hosting workshops: Holding a new OpenAI Workshop in Washington, D.C. in May to advance the discussion
