When AI Makes Intelligence Cheap, What Becomes the Most Expensive Asset?
AryHHAry · x · 2026-08-14
The author argues that the most critical question about AI is not whether it can outsmart humans, but what kind of civilization we will build when artificial intelligence becomes abundant.
In an era where intelligence is readily accessible, the truly expensive assets will shift. Judgment, trust, creativity, meaning, and human connections may replace pure intellect as the scarcest resources of the future. The future will not be about who owns the smartest AI, but who is wisest in directing that intelligence.
