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.
so… even if it’s not complete AGI, it’s still extremely helpful for many industries, and extremely disruptive. There are long ways to go with it, but even these intermediate products are massive.
Having said that, it’s also in a bubble or the peak of the hype cycle. That doesn’t mean it’s nothing though. It will cause massive upheaval.
ah “disruptive”
