OpenAI's Economic Blueprint

BLUEPRINT OR BLINDFOLD? Why OPENAI's Vision Needs a Soul, Not Just a Strategy

AI is the great equalizer—and the great divider. OpenAI’s Economic Blueprint lays a solid foundation, but here’s the truth: it's a plan for bones, not the brain.

With the announcement of Stargate, a $500 billion initiative backed by SoftBank, Oracle, and OpenAI, the U.S. is doubling down on its AI infrastructure. It’s a monumental step for America’s leadership, but here’s the truth: it's a plan for bones, not the brain.

Infrastructure, talent, and rules are critical—but where’s the vision for AI as a unifying force of intelligence across a fragmented world?

Here’s my take: are we thinking too small?

▪️ WHERE’S THE AI CONSTITUTION? America isn’t just competing for innovation—it’s competing to define the moral operating system of AI. We need a global AI Constitution that governs not just what AI does but how it does it. Without this, we risk building the most powerful systems humanity has ever seen with no compass to guide them.

▪️■ A BORDERLESS DIGITAL MIRROR: Data nationalism isn’t just a policy problem; it’s a crisis of imagination. If AI mirrors our world, and our data becomes tribal, we’ll create fragmented, myopic intelligences that deepen global divides. What if America led the creation of a global data commons, where AI learns from humanity’s diversity while protecting sovereignty and privacy?

▪️■◼️ THE END OF AI ISOLATIONISM: The U.S. is fixated on securing AI for its borders. But true leadership means exporting hope, not just technology. Why not create an AI Global Peace Corps—deploying tools to solve humanity’s hardest problems? From climate modeling to food innovation, AI’s power lies in solving global challenges that no single country can tackle alone.

The Blueprint gets the hardware right—but AI isn’t just about chips and grids. No doubt, they are important. It’s about designing the soul of our future systems. Are we thinking big enough about the kind of intelligence we want to build—and the kind of world we want it to shape?

Let’s push the boundaries. What’s your blueprint for the Intelligence Age?
