OpenAI has introduced a set of policy proposals aimed at addressing the economic impact of AI.
Key ideas include creating a public wealth fund, introducing taxes on automated labor, and testing a four-day workweek without reducing pay, as concerns grow over AI-driven job losses.
The company argues that rapid AI progress may disrupt entire industries, requiring major updates to tax systems, social safety nets, and infrastructure.
It also suggests shifting taxation toward corporate profits and capital, while investing in long-term AI-related assets and expanding energy capacity to support growing demand from data centers.
The proposals reflect broader concerns that AI could reshape the global economy, with leaders like Sam Altman and Dario Amodei previously calling for new economic models such as universal basic income or shared access to AI resources.
