OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has repeatedly mentioned the idea of "Universal Basic Compute" or a "basic compute budget" which individuals can use, resell, or donate. For one example, see the following article: OpenAI's Sam Altman has a new idea for a universal basic income

This question concerns the implementation of such a program by any national government. See my prior market concerning the US government: https://manifold.markets/IsaacLiu/will-the-us-government-implement-un

Resolution Criteria

This market will resolve YES if before January 1, 2030:

• A national government of a state recognized by the United Nations implements a program that provides all citizens with guaranteed access to computing resources (processing power) at no direct cost

The market will resolve NO if:

• No such program is implemented by January 1, 2030

• OR if only private actors implement such programs

• OR if the program requires means-testing or is not universally available to all citizens

Considerations

• Implementation would require significant regulatory frameworks and funding mechanisms that don't currently exist

• Technological advancements in cloud computing and edge computing could make implementation more feasible over time

• Growing concerns about AI job displacement could increase pressure for digital resource access programs
