We tend to think of OpenAI and AI companies in general as pushing for minimal regulation so nothing slows their expansion. But in a new document, “Industrial Policy for the Intelligence Age,” OpenAI argues the opposite: that government oversight isn’t just necessary; we need it now.
It suggests we need a new kind of industrial policy to deal with the upheaval AI will create: “The transition to superintelligence will require an even more ambitious form of industrial policy, one that reflects the ability of democratic societies to act collectively, at scale, to shape their economic future so that superintelligence benefits everyone.”
