It is clear that 2025 marks the point that the strong majority of larger firms will integrate AI into their core operations. 2025 marks the year that the largest and most powerful firms turn their attention beyond AI to superintelligence that will rock the word beyond our current imagination. Beyond these two clear trends, the rest is murky. Any other assumptions we make assume some significant degree of risk.
I am basing my own plans on three key assumptions:
- Small businesses will lag behind big businesses in adaption of this technological change, just as they have in every previous technological change.
- Both those enriched/empowered by technology change and those disempowered/displaced by technological change will seek refuse and opportunities in the physical outdoors. Obviously the approach of the two groups will be different.
- The greatest challenge I will face for the rest of my career will be the practical requirement to address the widely divergent groups at the same time.
