    OpenAI just hosted our first Forum event about the economics of AI. We explored the fascinating (and complicated!) relationship between AI and economics. The discussions were clear: AI is creating a fundamental shift in how economists are thinking about the future, across a variety of fields. 📊 Predictions about AI’s Economic Impact Vary Widely– Estimates of AI-driven GDP growth range from 0.06% to 18%. The divergence highlights the need for better measurement to inform policy and practice. ⏳ Adoption Lags Are Real – While AI is being adopted at record speed—ChatGPT hit 100M users in record time—many firms still struggle to scale AI inside their organizations.. Bridging this gap is a key business priority in the coming years. 🌍 AI’s Impact Will Unfold Differently Around the World – Geography, organizational structure, and societal values matter. How AI reshapes economies depends on local policies, workforce investments, and business strategies. 🛠 AI Is Changing What Work Looks Like – AI isn’t just about automation. It’s creating new ways of working—enhancing productivity by 5% to 50% depending on the task. The challenge: retraining and adaptation at scale. 💡 Collaboration is Key – AI’s potential depends on how we integrate it into economies. At OpenAI, we’re working with researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders to ensure AI drives innovation while benefiting society. Thanks to Kevin Weil, Jason K., Erik Brynjolfsson, Tom Cunningham, Noam Brown, and all the brilliant minds who joined us. Special thanks to the Forum team—Natalie Cone PMP and Caitlin Maltbie and the Economic Research team (my team!) at OpenAI. Looking forward to advancing these discussions as we shape the economic future of AI.

    Today we’re launching NextGenAI, a first-of-its-kind consortium with 15 leading research institutions dedicated to using AI to accelerate research breakthroughs and transform education. AI has the power to drive progress in research and education—but only when people have the right tools to harness it. That’s why OpenAI is committing $50M in research grants, compute funding, and API access to support students, educators, and researchers advancing the frontiers of knowledge. Uniting institutions across the U.S. and abroad, NextGenAI aims to catalyze progress at a rate faster than any one institution would alone. This initiative is built not only to fuel the next generation of discoveries, but also to prepare the next generation to shape AI’s future.

    Artificial intelligence is transforming how we live, work, and conduct scientific research. Today, we partnered with the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Laboratories to hold a first-of-its-kind “1,000 Scientists AI Jam Session” that brought together more than 1,000 scientists to explore how AI can accelerate scientific discovery. During Friday’s event, researchers across nine national labs—Argonne National Laboratory, Berkeley Lab, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Idaho National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL)—tested advanced AI reasoning models, including OpenAI o3-mini, on thousands of scientific challenges in fields ranging from energy and physics to biology and medicine.  U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright joined OpenAI President and Co-Founder Greg Brockman at Tennessee’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory to meet with participating researchers and emphasize AI’s critical role in the future of science, national security, and America’s global competitiveness. Secretary Wright told the scientists that AI has the potential to increase life expectancy, lead to the development of new drugs, and fuel innovation by allowing scientists to solve problems that were seen as intractable. Greg shared that he hoped AI would make scientists “10 times or 100 times more effective” at their work in the coming years. Today’s event builds on a long-standing tradition of the U.S. government working with companies to drive innovation, create jobs, fuel economic growth, and strengthen national security. We’re grateful to all the scientists who participated in today’s jam session, and look forward to continuing our work with the national labs to strengthen U.S. leadership in both AI and scientific discovery.

    1,400 scientists Nine national labs One shared goal: partnering with the government to advance AI-driven scientific discovery In a first-of-its-kind event, the US National Laboratories and OpenAI brought together over 1,400 scientists across nine national labs for a “1,000 Scientist AI Jam Session” today — a deep dive into how AI can accelerate breakthroughs that keep the US at the forefront of global scientific innovation From Argonne to Oak Ridge, Berkeley to Livermore, researchers put OpenAI’s latest AI models, including o3-mini, to the test — applying them to some of the world’s toughest scientific challenges. The goal? To improve future AI systems so that they are built with scientists’ needs in mind. As Rick Stevens, Associate Director of Argonne National Laboratory put it: it’s like a bunch of jazz musicians coming together and jamming to figure out scientific problems with AI That is a powerful jam session America has historically thrived when the public and private sectors worked together for the common good. From the automobile to the internet — US led ingenuity has generated economic growth that drove progress and expanded opportunities and freedoms However, collaboration goes beyond the typical public-private partnerships, forming a “common sector” where deep tech is integrated into research from the start to accelerate discovery in the Age of intelligence We believe that by helping scientists achieve breakthroughs, AI can benefit the greatest number of people I am working in AI partly because I think we’ll see this technology translated into incredible progress in children' s education; health care outcomes; and scientific progress At Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright and OpenAI Co-Founder and President Greg Brockman discussed how AI can strengthen US leadership in science and technology This event builds on OpenAI’s ongoing partnership with the national labs, including deploying advanced reasoning models on Nvidia’s supercomputer at Los Alamos and exploring how multimodal AI can safely advance biosciences. It also continues the long-standing tradition of public-private partnership in the US. Most importantly, it reinforces why democratic AI must win out over autocratic AI in the global competition between the US and China over AI’s future A special thank you to  Secretary Wright, Rick Stevens, Courtney Corley, Brian Spears, and Prasanna Balaprakash for leading this effort and finding time to participate in the discussions. And a huge shoutout to event maestro James Donovan and my other incredible colleagues who made this event possible: Felipe Millon, Lane Dilg, Katrina Mulligan, Michelle (Bailhe) Fradin, Alex Carney, Aaron Wilkowitz, Mohammed H., and Aaron Jaech Stay tuned for a report from the national labs summarizing key findings on how AI should be used by the scientific community
