OpenAI is funding 14 independent research and policy organizations across the US, EU, Brazil, Singapore, and South Korea with $1 million in grants and up to $1 million in API credits. The grants follow OpenAI's April 2026 'Industrial Policy for the Intelligence Age' paper and aim to explore how AI can broaden economic opportunity and strengthen societal resilience. Recipients include AEI-Urban, CEPS, Tax Foundation, NTI, and several universities, covering topics like AI-driven labor disruption, tax policy, energy for data centers, cross-border AI-bio risk sharing, and AI-enabled democratic accountability. Projects run six months with results expected in 2027.
