The new elite will be those who master artificial intelligence. And you, which side are you on?

For centuries, technological revolutions have gradually transformed the world.

However, this time, the change is not gradual.

Artificial intelligence is causing an explosion in productivity and wealth, as if we were compressing the Industrial Revolution, the Renaissance, and the invention of the Internet into a single decade.

And this explosion has already begun.

According to experts like Emad Mostaque, the change will be massive, accelerated, and unequal:

“AI will generate immense wealth… but only a few will capture that value.”

The real problem lies not in the lack of progress, but in how that progress is distributed.

We are already observing this: companies, governments, and individuals that quickly adopt AI are soaring, while those clinging to 20th-century models are falling behind.

Productivity is multiplying, but it is not being distributed.

AI allows us to do more, in less time, and with fewer people.

This completely redefines the economic game.

Repetitive tasks are disappearing.

Value is no longer found in human effort, but in data, computing, and algorithms.

Companies that automate their processes scale up more quickly.

Countries that incorporate AI into their economy grow more rapidly.

However, this also opens a brutal gap between those who have access to AI and those who do not.

This is not alarmism; it is a real warning.

If we do not redesign our institutions, our education, and our public policies, AI will not only transform productivity, but it will also change the entire social structure.

What happens if jobs disappear faster than we can create new ones?

What happens if only a few countries control the models, the data, and the infrastructure?

What happens if we continue teaching as if we were in 1995?

The change is not just economic; it is systemic.

We need new rules for a new game:

An education that prepares for collaboration with AI, not competition against it.

Governments that think about redistributing the value created by algorithms.

Organizations that see AI as the backbone, not just as a support tool.

We are at a historic crossroads.

It is not enough to “use AI.”

We must understand it, integrate it, and lead it.

Because those who do not learn to operate with AI will be operated by it.

And you, which side of the change are you on?
