Musk vs Altman: Money’s Future in 2036
What Sam Altman really thinks about Elon Musk’s 2036 money claim: ‘It won’t just magically solve’ · financialexpress.com

Elon Musk says that by 2036, robots and AI will make so many things that people won’t need money to buy them.

Sam Altman thinks money will still be important and worries that the wealth from AI might only go to a few people.

Musk also thinks the government could give everyone money directly.

Altman says the big risk is that the rich could get richer.

A court in Oakland decided that Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI was too late, so the company can still grow.

The debate shows how people think differently about how technology will change money and fairness.

Quotes

Sam Altman

CEO of OpenAI

“I mean, certainly one of the greatest concerns with AI that I have is around concentration of power, concentration of wealth. There are all of these ways where I think it will make a lot of things much cheaper and better, and you don’t have to buy a car, that’ll be great, but yeah, I think that there are many reasons to think that it won’t just magically solve wealth inequality.”
