Superintelligence Approaching: OpenAI's Industrial Policy Plan for the AGI Era

OpenAI has released a 12-page document outlining the necessity for government-level preparation as we advance towards superintelligence. The document emphasizes that the free market alone cannot manage the implications of superintelligence, warning that without established policies, wealth and power will accumulate in a few select companies, potentially excluding others from its benefits.

The document introduces key proposals to address the challenges of the AGI era, including the establishment of a Public Wealth Fund to invest in AI companies, the implementation of more capital taxes to offset the impact of neural networks on employment, a suggestion for a four-day work week without reduced pay to balance productivity gains with leisure time, and advocating for the Right to AI, positioning access to neural networks as a fundamental necessity akin to electricity and the internet.
