What’s OpenAI’s Economic Blueprint? A Bold Call to Reshape AI, Policy, and Global Innovation

OpenAI is going full force to make a lasting impact in 2025 as it just shared a new document titled: OpenAI's Economic Blueprint.

The company says the document entails all the policies that the firm feels it can develop and work on with the US government and other associated allies. This includes calls for America to attract investments worth billions in sectors like data, talent, chips, and energy that can achieve massive gains in AI.

So many countries are sidelining AI and the potential it encases for great economic growth and stability, the company’s VP shared. This is why it’s calling on lawmakers in the US to take greater action for more support to develop the technology.

The federal government at this moment in time has mostly left regulations linked to AI to individual states which OpenAI does not feel is the right solution. Last year alone, lawmakers rolled out nearly 700 bills linked to AI that could conflict with so many others. This might lead to developers of these open-sourced models with a lot of liability requirements.

Let’s not forget how the OpenAI CEO would criticize any existing federal laws on books like the CHIPS Act. This came into existence to better the semiconductor economy in the US by paving the way for more domestic investment and less reliance on foreign partners. Altman did not feel this was the right choice and he hopes the new Trump administration can devise a better strategy.

He further shared how much he agreed with the new president-elect on how difficult it is now to build certain things. Further discussions were about fueling data centers to not only create AI but also to run them. This is why the blueprint sends recommendations to increase budgets for data and power transmissions. This also means paving the way for sustainable energy sources like wind, nuclear, and solar.

OpenAI already showed great support for nuclear power as it felt it needed the energy to power server farms for future generations.

Furthermore, the blueprint sheds light on the need for the government to devise new policies for deploying models and preventing their misuse. This streamlines the AI industry’s engagement with national security firms. It also gives rise to more controls that start sharing models with allies while restricting exports to adversary countries.

More suggestions outlined in the document include sharing any threats linked to the AI industry with stakeholders like vendors to secure the right resources to determine risks. As per the approach taken by the federal government in this regard, they want responsible exporting behavior. This can assist them in standing up and developing their own ecosystems.

The company already counts several American government departments as leading partners but it hopes to add more to the list. So far, the makers of ChatGPT are dealing with the Pentagon and defense startup firm Anduril to supply AI tech to American military systems to defend against drone attacks.
