Sam Altman says OpenAI wants to sell intelligence like a utility

During a recent appearance at BlackRock in Washington, D.C., OpenAI’s Sam Altman, shared his vision for the future of AI. At one point saying, “We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.”

Altman was describing a world where AI becomes a foundational infrastructure, something woven into everyday life so deeply that consumers and businesses simply “plug into” it the same way they rely on electricity, Wi-Fi or running water.

    Certainly, since it is already happening. It’s not gonna fully replace the workforce but it is reducing number of jobs. The amount of AI art I am seeing just on the street makes me sick, couldn’t even bother to pay an artist a small amount when starting a new business.
