New policy ideas for the Intelligence Age

OpenAI is awarding grants totaling $1 million and up to $1 million in API credits to 14 independent organizations. This initiative follows a commitment made in their April 2026 publication, "Industrial Policy for the Intelligence Age," aiming to ensure advanced AI benefits everyone. These grants will support projects that test, challenge, and build upon OpenAI's policy ideas, turning high-level concepts into concrete work. Over 400 applicants responded to the call for proposals, with selected projects focusing on public understanding and policy development for AI's societal impact.
