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.
Thank you. Also I can almost guarantee you don’t actually hate AI. You probably hate these LLMs used by OpenAI and the like, am I right?
What is there to hate about something like GraphCast, AlphaFold, or reinforcement learning for fusion research? (Funnily enough those are all from DeepMind, where my mentor actually works at now)
