OpenAI has launched the Economic Research Exchange, a new program designed to strengthen collaboration between economists, academic researchers, policymakers, and industry experts studying the economic impact of artificial intelligence.
The initiative aims to support evidence-based research on topics such as workforce transformation, productivity growth, entrepreneurship, wages, and long-term economic development in the age of AI. OpenAI says the Exchange will create opportunities for researchers to access data, share findings, and contribute to public discussions about how AI is reshaping economies worldwide.
The program builds on OpenAI’s broader Economic Research efforts, which focus on understanding AI adoption patterns, labor market shifts, and societal outcomes through rigorous analysis and transparent research.
