OpenAI Foundation commits $250 million to help workers, economies navigate AI disruption

The non-profit that controls OpenAI will commit an initial $250 million for grants, partnerships and direct work aimed at helping workers and economies navigate the disruption caused by AI technology, it said on Wednesday. The funds, the first such commitment from the OpenAI Foundation, will back research into AI’s impact on ‌the labor ⁠market, support workers ⁠and communities facing near-term displacement and explore new ways to distribute economic gains from AI more broadly.
