OpenAI’s EU Economic Blueprint

OpenAI

Today, OpenAI is sharing the EU Economic Blueprint—a set of proposals to help Europe seize the promise of artificial intelligence to drive sustainable economic growth across the region and ensure that AI is developed and deployed by Europe, in Europe, for Europe.

The potential is clear. AI can drive new scientific breakthroughs, make education more inclusive, boost productivity, power businesses, large and small, and unlock new forms of creativity. These benefits are already being realized across the region—from researchers at European laboratories and universities like the Max Planck Society in Germany and Sciences Po in France, to the roll out of ChatGPT Edu to schools in Estonia and Germany being home to the largest number of API developers building on OpenAI’s technology outside of the US. But to secure these tremendous gains at scale, Europe must act with both urgency and purpose.

The Blueprint champions the entrepreneurial spirit, scientific excellence, and individual freedoms at the heart of Europe, as well as the EU’s commitment to social inclusion and fundamental rights, and charts a potential way forward for AI-fueled growth.

We have set out four principles to reach Europe’s AI potential:

To be a constructive partner to EU policymakers, we offer the following adoption-focused ideas as starting points to achieve high impact across the above recommendations:

To reflect the rapid evolution of AI technology, the Blueprint is a living document. We will continue to update our principles as we learn from working with governments across Europe on how to thoughtfully steward AI technology for the public good.

As part of this we’re holding a series of AI economics events across Europe, where we’re gathering insights and feedback to inform our policy recommendations and iterative deployment.

We have already held events in Brussels and Paris to inform this work and will soon host more in Warsaw and Munich.

We look forward to working with Europe towards this goal.
