OpenAI has announced a new five-principle framework for the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI), marking its most significant policy update since the original 2018 Charter. The framework centers on democratization, empowerment, universal prosperity, resilience, and adaptability.

CEO Sam Altman stated that the lab aims to prevent power consolidation and will submit decision-making to democratic processes rather than keeping control solely within the AI industry. The announcement comes as regulators in the U.S. and Europe tighten oversight of frontier AI labs.

Altman acknowledged that OpenAI has grown significantly larger since its founding, noting that in high-risk scenarios the company may need to prioritize resilience and safety over user empowerment. The document also links global infrastructure and data center expansion to the universal prosperity principle, framing these as ways to lower costs and distribute benefits broadly.
