Altman at BlackRock Summit: 'Intelligence Will Be Sold by the Meter Like Electricity' — Backlash Erupts
Speaking at BlackRock's 2026 Infrastructure Summit on March 11, Sam Altman framed OpenAI's long-term vision as selling intelligence 'on a meter' like a utility — 'too cheap to meter' eventually. The framing sparked significant backlash, with critics noting that intelligence built from human-created public data would now be commodified and resold. The quote is circulating separately from his Senate testimony, marking a second major Altman narrative dominating discourse this week.
