Sam Altman’s statement is that Artificial Intelligence (AI) could soon become a basic service like electricity. In the future, people will have to pay for AI according to their use, just like an electricity bill. Consider a simple example: ** Electricity example Like you use electricity: You get a connection from the electricity company. The number of units (kWh) you use determines your bill.
** In the future, AI will be similar. AI companies (like OpenAI) will provide AI services to people, and: You use AI tools. The amount of AI power/compute you use will be charged based on the meter.
** Simple example Let’s say:
1 AI request = ₹0.10
1000 AI request= ₹100
As you work with AI – content, coding, The bill will be generated automatically based on design and automation—reducing the cost of an electricity bill.
**This process has already begun in real life. Many AI platforms today charge based on API usage—a pay-per-use model.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is often discussed as a very powerful technology that can transform the way people work, access daily routines, do smart work, learn many things, and build businesses. But Sam believes the future of AI may not be so difficult. According to him, instead of seeing AI as a complicated innovation, in the future it could become a basic service, like electricity, that people will use every day. At the BlackRock US Infrastructure Summit in Washington, D.C., Altman said he sees a future where people won’t think much about AI. Whenever people need help in any work, they will use AI and will get paid according to the amount of work done and this will become a system forever, which will be easy for people to pay and understand.
