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.
Well, there are municipal WiFi deployments for some smaller towns and cities that I’d call a utility, but I am not convinced that is what the previous comment is referring to.
Wtf is a municipal WiFi department? What do they provide, internet access? Or routers?
