Sam Altman’s Industrial Policy for the Intelligence Age: 6 Proposals to Govern Superintelligence and Protect Workers
According to The Rundown AI, Sam Altman released a 13-page blueprint titled Industrial Policy for the Intelligence Age that argues AI superintelligence is near and calls for a new U.S. social contract with six proposals: a Public Wealth Fund to give every American a stake in AI growth, robot taxes to offset shrinking payroll revenues, a 4-day workweek at full pay enabled by productivity gains, a Right to AI ensuring universal access, containment playbooks for hard-to-recall autonomous systems, and an auto-triggering safety net with benefits tied to displacement thresholds. As reported by The Rundown AI, Altman frames these measures as guardrails and redistribution mechanisms to align AI-driven productivity with broad-based prosperity and risk control. According to Altman’s document as cited by The Rundown AI, the policy mix targets near-term business impacts—capital formation via a sovereign-like fund, predictable tax replacement as automation scales, and operational resilience through standardized containment—while expanding consumer access to frontier models to spur market demand. |
