OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Chief Scientist Jakub Pachocki Publish 'Built to Benefit Everyone: Our Plan' — Three-Goal AGI Roadmap Including Automated AI Researcher and Personal AGI for Every Person

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and chief scientist Jakub Pachocki published a sweeping AGI strategy essay on June 8, drawing a parallel to rural electrification in the 1920s and arguing 'a good AI future cannot be one where a small number of institutions control most of the capability.' The document sets three near-term goals: building an automated AI researcher to accelerate OpenAI's own scientific work, using AI to drive broad economic growth with widely distributed gains, and providing every person on Earth with a personal AGI. The publication arrived as OpenAI pursues a September IPO at an $852B valuation, framing OpenAI's mission explicitly as the opposite of monopoly.
