OpenAI publishes new policy ideas for the Intelligence Age
The initiative funds 14 outside projects, including a multi-country Windfall Trust working group studying tax and labour responses to AI, rather than more in-house proposals.

OpenAI said it was funding 14 independent projects to explore policy responses to advanced AI’s economic and social effects, under the heading “New Policy Ideas for the Intelligence Age.” Rather than authoring further proposals itself, as it had in an April document on industrial policy for the AI economy, the company said this round would support outside researchers and policy groups.
The most substantial single project is a Windfall Trust working group, which OpenAI said would run across the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, the European Union and Latin America, bringing together economists, policy specialists and pollsters to examine fiscal, labour-market, welfare and competitiveness questions under different scenarios for AI-driven growth. A separate international working group was described as focused specifically on cross-border economic coordination. OpenAI said the groups would publish periodic public syntheses of their findings rather than a single report.
As with the April document, OpenAI did not commit to adopting any of the resulting proposals, framing the funding as an attempt to broaden the public conversation about taxation and labour policy ahead of further AI capability gains rather than as a statement of the company’s own position.
