OpenAI has issued a stark warning about the impending transition to superintelligent AI systems, cautioning that these models could outperform even the smartest humans aided by AI. The company highlighted serious risks including job displacement, economic disruption, and cybersecurity threats, stating bluntly: 'Without effective mitigation, people will be harmed.'

In a radical policy proposal, OpenAI advocates for taxing robots and automated labor—a direct response to growing fears of AI replacing human workers. The suggestion comes alongside calls to shift tax burdens from labor income to capital gains and corporate profits, anticipating an AI-driven economic transformation.

The publication underscores the urgent need for governance frameworks as frontier AI models evolve toward superintelligence. While OpenAI itself develops these technologies, it paradoxically warns they could become 'hard to control' without proper safeguards.
