OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has published a detailed blueprint for how the U.S. government should tax, regulate, and redistribute wealth generated by Artificial Intelligence. Altman warns that inaction could lead to widespread job losses, cyberattacks, social unrest, and uncontrollable machines, identifying cyberattacks and biological attacks as the two most immediate threats. He stated, “I suspect that within the next year, we will see significant cyber threats that we will need to contain.” According to Axios, Altman described OpenAI’s 13-page draft, titled “Industrial Policy for the Intelligence Age: Ideas for Keeping Humans First,” as a starting point, not a prescription. The document’s most radical ideas include a Public Wealth Fund giving every American citizen a direct share in AI-driven growth, partly financed by AI companies; “taxes related to automated labor” and shifting the tax base from payrolls to capital gains and corporate income; incentivizing pilots of 32-hour work weeks with full pay; framing access to AI as fundamental as literacy, electricity, and the internet; containment protocols for autonomous, self-replicating AI systems; and auto-triggered safety nets that activate public support when AI-driven job displacement indicators reach certain thresholds. Asked why people should trust him, Altman said, “I think almost everyone involved in our industry feels the gravity of what we’re doing… We all take this responsibility very seriously.”
