Today, OpenAI released a new Economic Blueprint that outlines policy proposals aimed at strengthening America’s global leadership in AI innovation. In this document, the company calls for government support to ensure equitable access to AI and to promote economic growth across communities nationwide.
“We believe America needs to act now to maximize the technology’s possibilities while minimizing its harms. AI is too powerful to be led and shaped by autocrats, but that is the growing risk we face, while the economic opportunity AI presents is too compelling to forfeit.” Open AI said.
“We want to work with policymakers to ensure that AI’s benefits are shared responsibly and equitably. This blueprint is designed to support the entrepreneurship and individual freedoms that have long been at the heart of the American innovation ecosystem.” the company stated.
The company warned, “There’s an estimated $175 billion sitting in global funds awaiting investment in AI projects, and if the US doesn’t attract those funds, they will flow to China-backed projects—strengthening the Chinese Communist Party’s global influence.”
Open AI’s CEO, Sam Altman, donated around $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund.
Altman wrote a letter in September 2024, called “The Intelligence Age” warning “If we don’t build enough infrastructure, AI will be a very limited resource that wars get fought over and that becomes mostly a tool for rich people.”
It is anticipated that Altman will work towards improving his company’s ties with Trump’s Administration in order to strengthen government investment in U.S. technologies.
