Sam Altman's AI 'New Deal'

OpenAI's latest policy paper suggests that the rapid advancement of AI requires a radical rethink of labor and wealth distribution.

Altman argues that a 'robot tax' and public wealth funds could help mitigate the displacement of human workers and ensure the benefits of superintelligence are shared broadly.

However, critics have dismissed the proposals as 'regulatory nihilism,' suggesting they offer a distraction from the immediate need for more stringent AI safety rules.

The debate comes as Goldman Sachs reports that AI is already displacing approximately 16,000 entry-level jobs per month in the US.
