Industrial policy for the Intelligence Age

OpenAI announced an update regarding its Industrial Policy for the Intelligence Age initiative, stating that it is no longer accepting additional submissions through its newindustrialpolicy@openai.com inbox after receiving more than 400 responses. The organization is currently reviewing potential grant recipients. Originally launched to spark a conversation as society moves toward superintelligence, OpenAI offered a slate of people-first policy ideas designed to expand opportunity, share prosperity, and build resilient institutions. While the ideas are exploratory and intended as a starting point for discussion, OpenAI has taken steps to sustain momentum. These efforts include establishing a pilot program of fellowships and focused research grants offering up to $100,000 and up to $1 million in API credits for work that builds on these policy concepts. Additionally, OpenAI opened a new workshop in Washington, DC, in May to convene discussions on the topic. The initiative encourages others to build on, refine, challenge, or choose among these policy proposals through the democratic process, ensuring advanced AI benefits everyone.
