Frontier AI companies will trigger unprecedented wealth and power concentration
LuizaJarovsky · x · 2026-08-25
Luiza Jarovsky predicts the next five years will mark a never-before-seen concentration of wealth and power in the hands of frontier AI companies, outlined in three phases: Phase 1, siphoning and monetizing global cognitive potential via AI stacks; Phase 2 (current), expanding vertically and horizontally to crowd out smaller players; Phase 3, mutating the knowledge economy into an AI-led one where these entities shape institutions and value. We are currently in Phase 2.
