The OpenAI Foundation is joining Intercept as a founding partner through our AI resilience program. As AI accelerates advances in biology and medicine, we also need to prepare for the risks of misuse, including the potential for engineered outbreaks. Intercept Health Fund is working to end respiratory pandemics through a pathogen-agnostic approach, investing in broad-spectrum preventatives and non-pharmaceutical interventions that can protect against a wide range of threats and strengthen a new layer of resilience for humanity. blog.interceptfund.com/p/end…

Today, we're launching RAISE US. America has a technology strategy for AI. It doesn't have a people strategy yet. We're here to build one. RAISE US is co-chaired by @GinaRaimondo and Eric Holcomb. We're working with governors, employers, and educators to help workers train, transition, and thrive. This works because the people building AI and the people most affected by it are at the same table. Read more: raiseus.ai #RAISEUS

Every general-purpose technology was risky before it was infrastructure. Fire burned cities to the ground. Electricity electrocuted workers and cities considered abandoning the technology. But we didn't: Instead, we invested in safeguards and built ecosystems that made it so anyone, anywhere could use them.

AI resilience aims to ensure the same is true for AI: that a technology so powerful can, in the future, be as safe as flipping a light switch. This work requires the combined effort of many people and organizations. We’ve already begun funding them, and will be investing much more in the coming months.
