New policy ideas for the Intelligence Age
OpenAI funds 14 independent projects exploring new AI policy ideas to expand economic opportunity and strengthen societal resilience in the Intelligence Age.
Get smart on it
An organization is funding independent research projects to explore how artificial intelligence can create economic opportunity and strengthen society as the technology becomes more capable. The funding follows a commitment to support others in testing and building on policy ideas for the Intelligence Age, with the goal of ensuring advanced AI benefits everyone rather than concentrating advantages among the few. The projects span multiple countries and address two main questions: how AI can broaden economic opportunity, and how societies can build resilience as AI capabilities advance. These independent research efforts are important because policy decisions about AI deployment and benefit distribution should be shaped through democratic institutions and public debate rather than by technology companies alone.

Rather than employing reverse engineering or other traditional vulnerability-hunting methods, they asked Copilot. The LLM assistant readily complied. Research

On Monday, 404 Media revealed that it had connected with a bookseller who agreed to plant an Airtag in a rare book that wa
