"In OpenAI's view, the race to secure computing power, modernize the grid and rebuild supply chains should supercharge U.S. manufacturing and energy production. Driving the news: President Trump's AI action plan called for companies to tell the government what regulations stand in the way of AI's development. Comments are due Monday. A new OpenAI internal analysis finds that the first $1 trillion invested in AI infrastructure could add more than 5% to GDP growth over a 3-year period."
"The company says the next five years will bring an immense need for electricians, mechanics and other construction trade workers - an estimated 20% of those existing workforces for OpenAI's purposes alone. What's inside: The Office of Science and Technology Policy should prioritize "closing the 'electron gap'" between the U.S. and China by "setting an ambitious national target of building 100 GW a year of new energy capacity,"OpenAI chief global affairs officer Chris Lehane wrote in the filing."
"When "responsible" AI companies are conducting child safety red-teaming and safety evaluations, the Justice Department should provide them with immunity, Lehane wrote. The government should encourage more companies to partner with the Center for AI Standards and Innovation, "including by working with Congress to provide participating companies with liability protections such as preemption of state laws and regulations," per the filing."
The first $1 trillion invested in AI infrastructure could add more than 5% to GDP growth over a three-year period. The next five years will require large numbers of electricians, mechanics and construction trade workers, potentially around 20% of existing workforces for deployment needs. Policymakers should prioritize closing the 'electron gap' with an ambitious national target of building 100 GW a year of new energy capacity. The government should expand tax credits for AI-related sectors, use AI to accelerate federal permitting and environmental reviews, provide liability and immunity protections for safety testing, and promote standards partnerships with liability safeguards. Federal action should support companies in building the needed infrastructure and supply chains.
