LuizaJarovsky · x · 2026-08-25
Luiza Jarovsky, PhD, analyzes the next five years of the AI industry, predicting an unprecedented concentration of wealth and power among frontier AI companies. The process involves three phases: siphoning global cognitive potential via AI stacks, expanding products vertically and horizontally to squeeze out smaller players, and mutating the knowledge economy into an AI-led one where these entities shape institutions. Citing China's AI+ plan, she notes that by 2030, AI is expected to fully empower high-quality development with intelligent agents exceeding 90% penetration.
