OpenAI's new Strategic Futures team and AI Futures blog will study how transformative AI could reshape governance and power, via papers and podcasts.
OpenAI introduced AI Futures on August 20, a new blog from its Strategic Futures team focused on how free societies should be restructured to preserve individual rights as AI becomes transformative, with a stated focus on concentration-of-power risks. The team works across public-policy design, economics, law, and machine learning, and plans to publish papers, videos, and podcasts through the blog.
