Comment by Sarah Friar

OpenAI executive and author of a 2026 article on AI-driven abundance.
AI infrastructure is not valuable because it is large. It is valuable because of what it makes possible: more capable intelligence, available to more people, at a lower cost. That is how I think about abundance. It is both embedded in our mission—ensuring that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity—and in the economic engine that drives our business. When the cost of useful intelligence falls, more work becomes worth doing. When models become more capable, that work creates more value.
