- OpenAI released a series of policy proposals to address the wave of AI that could replace mass jobs and restructure the global economy.
- The company warns that humanity is entering a phase of superintelligence, where AI surpasses humans even when humans are supported by AI.
- A key proposal is the creation of a “public wealth fund” that invests in the AI industry and distributes profits directly to the people.
- OpenAI also suggests “robot taxes” on automated labor to offset revenue losses when traditional jobs are replaced.
- Governments are encouraged to experiment with a 4-day work week while maintaining the same salary, leveraging AI productivity.
- The tax system needs to shift from taxing labor to taxing capital and corporate profits generated by AI.
- OpenAI also proposes expanding the power grid due to the surging energy demands of AI and data centers.
- Social safety nets, such as unemployment benefits and social insurance, should be automatically triggered when AI causes economic volatility.
📌 OpenAI is not just developing AI but also proposing a complete redesign of the economic system to adapt to a superintelligent future. Ideas such as public wealth funds, robot taxes, and a 4-day work week show that AI can reduce jobs but increase productivity. The core issue is the redistribution of value created by AI to avoid inequality and ensure social stability.
