On January 13, local time in the United States, OpenAI released the "AI Economic Blueprint" report, aiming to help the United States in artificial intelligence Maintain global leadership in intelligent innovation.

OpenAI stated: In view of the rapid development of AI technology, the United States needs to act quickly to fully tap the potential of AI while minimizing risks. The power of AI should not be monopolized by a few institutions, and its potential for job creation and economic growth cannot be ignored. OpenAI will work with policymakers to promote the healthy development of AI and benefit the whole society.

In addition, the report mentioned that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman will officially launch this work at an event in Washington, DC on January 30.

This event will also kick off the "Innovate for America" ​​initiative, inviting states across the United States to participate to ensure that the economic benefits of AI can benefit Americans from all walks of life.

This 10,000-word report emphasizes that the United States needs to cooperate with the private sector through policy support to promote the application of artificial intelligence in medical, education, scientific research and other fields, ensure that technology is developed based on democratic values, and at the same time build infrastructure to enhance competitiveness, ensuring national security, and achieving widespread economic and social benefits. The core content is as follows:

Urge the government to clear all obstacles for AI

OpenAI pointed out that in today's era, although some countries have not fully realized AI and its economic potential, it hopes that the U.S. government will clear obstacles for its AI industry and Promote its scale expansion. Specific measures include:

While maintaining national security, continue to consolidate the United States' leadership in global innovation; ensure that the United States takes the right approach from the early stages of AI development and draws benefits from it; maximize Maximize the economic opportunities brought by AI to communities across the United States.

OpenAI believes that developers and users have the responsibility to adhere to clear and common sense-based regulations to promote the healthy development of the AI ​​field. By setting clear and predictable rules that both support the growth of innovators and protect the public interest, we not only incentivize investment and promote competition, but also create a broader space for development for everyone.

OpenAI recommends that to help U.S. AI companies safely develop and deploy cutting-edge models and ensure necessary safeguards, the federal government should:

Where appropriate, share unique information and resources related to national security, such as providing briefings on industry security threats to U.S. AI companies engaged in cutting-edge research and advanced testing of U.S. and non-U.S. AI models.Results; AI companies are encouraged to deploy their products broadly, including in support of allies and partner countries, while serving U.S. government agencies; the federal government should simplify requirements for safety and security measures for cutting-edge models, reduce bureaucratic barriers, and facilitate government and industry collaboration and incentivize companies to support improving U.S. global competitiveness; share government expertise in protecting intellectual property, guarding against industrial security threats, and mitigating cyber, chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) and other potential risks arising from powerful AI models; and helping AI companies gain security infrastructure (such as confidential computing clusters), Security risks and safeguards used to evaluate models; protect business secrets and promote market competition while increasing transparency, ensuring broad accessibility and affordable cost of AI technology through reasonable design of disclosure requirements; simplifying the requirements for the industry Support processes that enable companies developing large-scale language models to Work with the government to develop rules for model evaluation and testing, and share information to support industry safety and security; empower the public sector to quickly and safely adopt AI tools, provide easy application paths for startups and small businesses, and save taxpayers money. , improve operational efficiency, and improve the quality of public services.

Emphasizes that the United States must win the chip war

OpenAI stated: Chips, data, energy And talent are the key ingredients to winning the human-AI race, a race the United States not only must win but must win. According to statistics, approximately US$175 billion in funds are waiting to be invested in AI projects worldwide. If the United States is unable to attract this capital, it may flow to projects supported by other countries, thereby increasing those countries' global influence.

OpenAI believes that ensuring that AI benefits the widest possible range of people means enabling the development of AI by enforcing common-sense rules designed to protect people from actual harm and building a community that continues to be shaped by the U.S. Advocate a democratic AI system based on values, including:

A system that encourages free and fair competition, A free market that fosters innovation; developers and users can freely use OpenAI’s tools under the premise of following clear common sense standards to ensure that the safety of AI benefits everyone, and bear corresponding responsibilities when these standards are violated; prevent governments from Use AI tools to amass power, control citizens, or threaten or coerce other countries.

OpenAI concluded that any industry needs to develop unified and common-sense rules to protect public interests while stimulating investment, promoting competition, and providing greater freedom for innovators. These rules should be applied uniformly across the country, rather than relying on state-by-state regulations.
