Current AI Trends

My weekend reading took an unexpected turn 📊

Rather than casual browsing, I ended up diving into BondCap's "Trends - Artificial Intelligence" report. Impressed with few of their Internet Trends reports, this one made it clear: AI is rapidly becoming foundational technology, like computers and smartphones before it.

We've heard enough about AI impacting entry-level roles. As Jensen Huang's puts it: "You won't lose your job to AI, but to someone who uses AI."

What's becoming clear? Current mid-level roles are becoming the new entry-level. Soon, AI proficiency will be bare minimum, similar to Word and Excel skills.

Big tech's massive infrastructure investments and competition ensures that costs will keep dropping. Despite zero coding knowledge, I managed to get AI to build my company website and internal tools (Full disclosure: it took me quite of bit of coaxing AI to do exactly what I wanted, but I did manage in the end)

Now I'm confident that as my business scales, I can maintain the same workforce while increasing output through AI. Luckily, my business deals primarily with blue collared workforce, most of which will take much longer to automate as things currently stand.

Now that the "AI genie is out of the bottle", and it’s time to accept it than whine about it.
