Chatgpt approached a juicy contract. According to The Guardian, Sam Altman, Chief of Openai, and Peter Kyle, British Secretary of State for Technology, discussed a possible agreement between the company and the United Kingdom. Sam Altman proposed to provide access to AI’s pay version, Chatgpt Plus, to all British citizens against a substantial check.
According to the conscious sources of this discussion, this association could have cost almost $ 2 billion in the United Kingdom. But despite Peter Kyle’s madness for artificial intelligence tools, the secretary has not accepted Sam Altman’s offer for the moment.
A fugitive for AI
The two men gathered in March and April 2025 to detect potential opportunities between Openai and the United Kingdom. On the company’s side, the opportunity is perfect to guarantee the democratization of its services.
ChatGPT is certainly free, but the pays pays for new features to users. The Chatgpt Plus version significantly offers extensive use of AI. It allows you to create more images, generate videos with Sora, as well as have access to advanced chatpt modes (agent, in -depth research, improved memory). Chatgpt Plus is invoiced 20 pounds per month (23 euros in France).
It should be said that the Secretary of State does not lack praise to Chatgpt. He said last January that “Chatgpt is incredibly good.” But this fugitive towards AI has put Peter Kyle in the past.
In May 2025, several British artists, including Elton John and Dua Lipa, criticized him. In question, the politician wanted to facilitate the access of AI to the content protected by copyright.
Chatgpt in public services
However, if these negotiations have not been conclusive, they are revealing the will of Sam Altman to make Chatgpt the reference AA of Western governments.
Already in July 2025, Peter Kyle concluded an agreement with Openai to equip English public services with Chatgpt. The objective is to implement the tool in sectors such as education or justice.
At the beginning of August, OpenAI also offered the Paga of Chatgpt version to federal agencies for a symbolic euro. For their part, French public services have not adopted chatgpt, they have Albert, their own homemade AI
These agreements follow the objectives established by the company by 2029, when Operai hopes to be profitable. The implementation could look above all essential for its users, before potentially change the economic model. Today, the accessible for free, Chatgpt could begin in the coming years a transition to only paid services or the integration of advertising.
