OpenAI Releases AI Policy Framework With Tax Proposals

OpenAI has published a 13-page policy framework titled Industrial Policy for the Intelligence Age: Ideas to Keep People First, offering over two dozen suggestions on managing AI's economic and safety risks. Proposals include higher capital gains taxes on AI-driven returns, an automation tax, a public AI wealth fund, and worker protections. The document also addresses energy infrastructure, AI safety containment protocols, and incident reporting systems. OpenAI describes the ideas as exploratory starting points, and plans to host policy discussions at a Washington D.C. hub next month while offering grants of up to $100,000 to AI policy researchers.
