Sam Altman, CEO of Openai, has talked to the British Technology Minister about providing a free ChatGpt Plus service to all British citizens. But the project did not work at a cost of £ 5 billion.
Providing approximately 2 million British share of the ChatGPT Premium can cost up to £ 5 billion (about $ 1.5 billion), according to the Guardian. Altman’s meeting with British Technology Minister Peter Kyle was part of a broader conversation in San Francisco on the opportunities for cooperation between Openai and the UK.
Cost of £ 5 billion for UK’s free access to ChatGpt Plus
The British Technology Minister is one of the main supporters of the use of artificial ielligence in the governme. Documes in March showed that Peter Kyle has assisted ChatGPT to consult with work issues, including why British businesses do not accept artificial ielligence and what podcasts to be prese. He also uses this technology for media consultation and policy.
The Guardian says Kyle met with Sam Altman in March and April. One of the topics discussed in these meetings has been to provide free access to ChatGPT Plus to British citizens. The service includes access to faster, more reliable responses, even when demand and priority in the new capabilities test.
Some sources say the same cost of $ 1.5 billion has made the British Technology Minister not take the idea seriously; Because when the governme demands additional funding for health services, police, education, etc., allocating such a large amou of access to artificial ielligence could make public opinion unhappy.
The ChatGPT Plus subscription fee at the curre price of $ 2 was about $ 1.5 billion for all British resides, so the cost of $ 1.5 billion by Openai seems a bit high. In addition, the UK is currely one of the top 5 Openai markets for ChatGpt’s monetary subscription. Earlier, however, the UAE governme had announced a similar program in collaboration with Openai.
