In the midst of the rapidly changing AI era, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is gaining attention as a visionary who seeks to redesign the way human civilization operates.
This book, Sam Altman: The Vision 2030, provides an in-depth analysis of his unique perspective and the technologies and innovations he focuses on.

The future is heading beyond the AI ​​technologies we are witnessing now.
A minimal understanding of technologies that will fundamentally change human life, such as nuclear fusion, AI, basic income, and biotechnology, is necessary.
The key technical keywords provided in this book will help you understand it.

A cutting-edge story that will fundamentally change the future of humanity! This book dissects Sam Altman's long-term investment philosophy, providing insights needed to predict upcoming trends and develop wise investment strategies. It also sparks in-depth discussion about the future of humanity.

Sam Altman's vision goes beyond mere technological innovation.
In his blueprint for the future, AI replaces human intellectual labor, robots replace physical labor, and nuclear fusion energy provides infinite energy.
By incorporating a basic income system here, we aim to alleviate the economic inequality brought about by technological advancements, and by using life-extension technology to overcome the limitations of human lifespan.
All of this might sound like science fiction or a story from the distant future at first.
But Sam Altman is investing billions of dollars in all of these areas, engaging directly, and redesigning how technology and humanity coexist.
This is why Sam Altman is called a "Visionary."

Beyond simple financial compensation, OpenAI has set forth a clear mission: "research for the future of humanity."
This has served as a powerful motivator for researchers seeking meaning and value beyond a high salary, and has served as the foundation for building OpenAI's technological foundation, with talented individuals gathered around ideals and a sense of mission.
Moreover, the fact that OpenAI's goal is not to maximize shareholder value like a typical company, but to "serve the good of humanity" has granted researchers unprecedented freedom and responsibility.
An environment has been created where companies can focus solely on fundamental technological innovation, without being tied down by short-term profits or market reactions.

Interestingly, Brett Adcock, like Sam Altman, has consistently emphasized the need for a basic income.
From a young age, he started his own business, sought to realize social value through technology, and achieved rapid success through serial entrepreneurship.
He resembled Sam Altman in many ways, and this similarity was one of the main factors that drew the two innovators to each other.
Sam Altman recognized the potential of figure AI early on.
So, at one point, the possibility of acquisition was considered, but due to various conflicts of interest, it ultimately did not come to fruition.
Instead, Altman will join Figure AI as a strategic investor and partner.
This was more than just a financial investment; it was an ambitious plan to integrate OpenAI's language models with Figure AI's robotics technology in the long term.

Sam Altman has personally invested $375 million in Helion, starting with a $9.5 million seed investment in 2014 and completing a Series E round in 2021.
This is known as Sam Altman's largest investment to date.
In particular, 2014, before he founded OpenAI, is a prime example of what priorities Sam Altman essentially pursues.
Why did Sam Altman, known for his strictness, focus on Helion among numerous energy companies? The biggest reason is Helion's commercial potential.

The basic income he envisions isn't simply an extension of traditional welfare policies aimed at helping the poor. It's closer to a structural solution: preventing the vast wealth generated by the AI ​​revolution from concentrating in the hands of a small number of technocrats and capitalists, guaranteeing a minimum level of economic stability and human dignity to all individuals, and ultimately preserving their purchasing power, thereby ensuring the sustainability of the capitalist system.
In other words, even if AI and robots become the main producers, we need to support the economy so that humans can continue to be the main consumers.
---From "Sam Altman's Basic Income Experiment"

What's the core reason Sam Altman proposed UBC beyond basic income? His belief is that advances in AI are giving rise to a means (computing) that can provide even more powerful assistance than cash handouts.
Future superintelligent AI has the potential to solve problems that humans cannot solve and create new added value.
If individuals directly utilize this AI, it can become a means of self-reliance based on production that goes beyond simple support.
In fact, amidst the debate surrounding basic income, there is criticism that while it guarantees a basic livelihood, it has limitations as a long-term solution. In contrast, there is the argument that basic computing can provide support in a more active and progressive manner by providing people with a new means of production called AI.

Sam Altman has a particular interest in cell therapy and gene therapy.
This is because it is the most fundamental approach that seeks to address the root cause of disease at the cellular or genetic level.
From this perspective, the representative biotech startup he invested in is Aspen Neuroscience (hereafter, Aspen).
Aspen aims to fundamentally cure Parkinson's disease.
Parkinson's disease is a disease that occurs when dopamine-producing nerve cells in the brain are gradually destroyed, and most current treatments only alleviate symptoms.
Aspen's approach is much more fundamental.
Simply put, it is closer to replacing broken car parts with new ones rather than simply repairing them.

Sam Altman's blueprint for the future is elaborate and ambitious.
Just that outline alone gives us hope and imagination for a new era.
It will certainly be an impressive painting when completed.
But a great sketch alone cannot make a true masterpiece.
In the end, what matters is the color.
Only through a meticulous and balanced coloring process can one truly be recognized for its value.
The problem is that Altman's paintings are too large and complex.
A single mistake during the coloring process, such as the emergence of an uncontrollable AGI, an economic system that deepens inequality, or irreversibly damages the ecosystem, could bring the entire painting to its knees.
Moreover, if essential elements such as human dignity and social trust are omitted, the plan may actually be detrimental.
These concerns highlight how compelling and challenging the future Sam Altman envisions is.
