OpenAI held discussions with the UK government about offering ChatGPT Plus access to all residents, a deal that would cost a few billion pounds.

The AI race is unforgivingly fast and brutal. Industries have already adopted it, and the biggest AI companies are racing to put it in the hands of students through exclusive deals and discounts. Now, it seems the next avenue is giving universal access to all citizens, starting with ChatGPT Plus.

“Those close to the discussion say Kyle never really took the idea seriously, not least because it could have cost as much as £2bn,” reports The Guardian, citing two unnamed sources privy to the meeting that happened in San Francisco. The UK minister has reportedly held multiple meetings with OpenAI chief Sam Altman this year.

What’s the big outlook? Giving access to advanced tools is a proven way of winning converts. And since the UK is already one of the biggest markets for ChatGPT, it would make sense to offer ChatGPT Plus access to all citizens, even for a limited time. This won’t be the first initiative of its kind for OpenAI, or the UK.
