ZERO-PERSON BILLION DOLLAR COMPANIES

THE AI ECLIPSE

When I showed these clips the room fell silent. Elon Musk predicts AI will be smarter than ANY human by next year. Smarter than ALL humans within five years. Which means that by 2030 AI’s intelligence will transcend the combined intelligence of all human beings on planet earth. The AI-Human Eclipse is upon us… I shared some insights from Elon and other AI luminaries during my presentation of “HumAInity: Human + AI Creativity, Connection & Coalescence” at CreativeMornings Lisbon during Portugal Tech Week.

It’s an era when tech CEO’s place bets on when you can type a prompt into a chatbot to conceive, build, and scale a company to billion-dollar valuation—without a single human employee.The timeline?
