OpenAI CEO Sam Altman suggested that with artificial intelligence systems becoming increasingly capable, access to these powerful systems could one day be considered a fundamental human right.

​In a blog post on Tuesday, Altman wrote, “As AI gets smarter, access to AI will be a fundamental driver of the economy, and maybe eventually something we consider a fundamental human right. Almost everyone will want more AI working on their behalf.”
