OpenAI's Sam Altman Proposes 'Universal Basic Compute' as AI Job Threat Looms

OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman introduces the concept of 'universal basic compute' during a podcast appearance, aiming to revolutionize our interaction with AI technology. Altman envisions a future where individuals can access and utilize a portion of GPT-7's compute power for various purposes, such as research or selling it.

Altman's proposal stems from the idea that ownership of advanced AI models like GPT-7 could become more valuable than traditional currency as AI integration increases. He has previously advocated for universal basic income, foreseeing the impact of AI on job markets and the need for financial support for workers. Altman's experimental UBI initiative and the potential shift to 'universal basic compute' are likely to spark debates on welfare, work ethics, and the future of AI-driven economies.
