Altman plans D.C. push to "democratize" AI economic benefits
Briefly

Altman's aim is to democratize the benefits of AI, ensuring they are accessible to everyone instead of being monopolized by a select few. He previously advocated for a U.S.-led democratic vision for AI to contrast with authoritarian regimes that might seek to dominate this space. OpenAI reports impressive user engagement with ChatGPT, noting over 2.5 billion daily prompts, primarily from U.S. users. The majority of ChatGPT's 500 million weekly active users utilize the free version of the platform. Upcoming events include a fireside chat featuring Altman and a new economic analysis from OpenAI's chief economist.
"Not all doomerism downside and not hand-waving away concerns - but focused on democratizing benefits (getting them into the hands of people to do stuff), not concentrating them in the hands of the few."
"A U.S.-led 'democratic vision for AI' must prevail over authoritarian governments that are 'willing to spend enormous amounts of money to catch up and ultimately overtake us.'"
"OpenAI says ChatGPT users send more than 2.5 billion prompts each day globally. More than 330 million of those daily prompts are in the U.S."
"The free version of ChatGPT is used by the vast majority of the platform's more than 500 million weekly active users, OpenAI says."
