## What Jamie wrote

I missed this offering when it was announced. This update is obviously timed for the World Economic Forum going on right now. 

> Today at our OpenAI event alongside the World Economic Forum, we announced that we’re expanding this work in 2026 with new initiatives focused on education, health, AI skills training and certifications, disaster response and preparedness, cybersecurity, and start-up accelerators. They give nations a range of options for how to work with us to address their needs and priorities.

Is this more marketing than real stuff? Diving into the [PDF report](https://cdn.openai.com/pdf/openai-ending-the-capability-overhang.pdf) on page 12 there is a brief rundown of what 11 different countries are doing. Honestly it seems smart when you read the various efforts.
