As AI becomes more advanced, we believe America needs to act now to maximize the technology’s possibilities while minimizing its harms. AI is too powerful to be led and shaped by autocrats, but that is the growing risk we face, while the economic opportunity AI presents is too compelling to forfeit. Shared prosperity is as near and measurable as the new jobs and growth⁠(opens in a new window) that will come from building more AI infrastructure like data centers, chip manufacturing facilities, and power plants. As our CEO Sam Altman has written⁠(opens in a new window), AI will soon help our children do things we can’t. Not far off is a future in which everyone’s lives can be better than anyone’s life is now.

With such prosperity in sight, we want to work with policymakers to ensure that AI’s benefits are shared responsibly and equitably. This blueprint is designed to support the entrepreneurship and individual freedoms that have long been at the heart of the American innovation ecosystem.

If done right, the developers who are AI’s Main Street will thrive along with companies of all sizes, and the broad economic benefits of the technology will catalyze a reindustrialization across the country.

America has faced similar moments in the past, and we know how to think big, build big and act big. Now, it’s time to channel that same spirit as we enter the Intelligence Age.
