We’re gonna see 10-person billion dollar (valuation) companies pretty soon. In my little group chat with my tech CEO friends, there’s this betting pool for the first year that there is a one-person billion-dollar company. Which would have been unimaginable without AI and now will happen.
I’ve been thinking about this quote from Sam Altman as companies launch AI agents (AI tools that do tasks on our behalf autonomously).
I do believe that a reimagined future always sounds impossible through the lens of today’s limits.
Because I’m curious, I asked AI some questions. See our conversation in the video below.
There are those predicting that the possibility of $B companies with only a few or no people will emerge.
If that happens, will there be enough people with buying power and trust to purchase from these companies? But perhaps the question is constrained by the thinking that the currency will continue to be money and trust. Maybe we need to reimagine what the currency might be. Your thoughts?
Could creativity become currency? If so, can you help me reimagine that? Please use a relatable example where we have a society using creativity as currency.
What if we use kindness as currency?
For as sci-fi as that all might sound, I suppose this is me trying to reimagine a world where AI benefits all of humanity. Of course, not everyone shares this vision and sometimes actions speak louder than words.
But that’s exactly why more of us need to lean in and share our voices. The future of AI is too important to leave to a few.
And as Ethan Mollick puts it perfectly,
It’s time to stop pretending that the world isn’t changing, and start taking control to get the future we want. We can’t predict which future we get, but we can try to steer towards a better one.
What “crazy” brainstorms have you had with AI? How did it go? What did you learn?
