At the World Economic Forum in Davos in 2026, artificial intelligence will once again become a global focal point. The transformative power brought by AI will be 100 times greater than that of the Industrial Revolution.

Renowned Silicon Valley investor Mark Anderson bluntly stated that this technological breakthrough will completely overturn the existing market forecasting logic, rendering historical data based judgments completely ineffective. In this once-in-a-century technological revolution, "One Person Business" is moving from the periphery to the mainstream, becoming the best path for ordinary people to seize the dividends of the times, opening the window of opportunity with the highest personal leverage ratio, lowest threshold, and highest upper limit in human history.

1、 100x change intensity+10x evolution speed: AI restructuring global production paradigm

Hassabis' argument is based on the fundamental reshaping of production factors by AI. The Industrial Revolution replaced human labor with machines to improve efficiency, but was limited to the transformation of the physical world; AI integrates data, algorithms, and computing power to reconstruct the entire business logic chain, and the depth and breadth of the transformation far exceed the former. As the core engine of new quality productivity, AI not only replaces repetitive labor, but also excels in complex mental tasks such as design and decision-making, achieving a leap in total factor productivity under human-machine collaboration.

'Ten times faster' is a distinctive feature of the AI revolution. The Industrial Revolution took a hundred years to mature, while AI has only been around for over a decade from technological breakthroughs to large-scale applications, with continuous acceleration in iteration. The current AI industrialization has entered the first year of monetization, and the speed of technology implementation covering multiple industries has exceeded expectations. This combination of "high intensity+fast speed" breaks the inertia of traditional industries and empowers individuals - complex tasks that used to require teamwork can now be efficiently completed by a single individual with the help of AI tools.

Mark Anderson's emphasis on "prediction failure" is at the core of this transformation. Driven by AI, technological breakthroughs deviate from linear logic, emerging business models emerge frequently, and historical data is difficult to adapt to exponential changes. Although this uncertainty brings challenges, it provides ordinary people with opportunities to overtake on corners without relying on traditional paths. With AI, new tracks can be opened up.

The AI revolution will surpass the industrial revolution by 100 times, and one person companies will rise!

2、 The Rise of One Person Companies: The Explosion of Individual Value Empowered by AI

The rise of one person companies lies in the fact that AI tools have lowered the threshold and cost of individual entrepreneurship, and amplified individual core abilities. Traditional entrepreneurship requires multiple costs and barriers, which are difficult for ordinary people to reach; AI can also take on roles such as copywriting, design, and operation, significantly reducing labor and time costs and breaking down entrepreneurial barriers one by one.

Its core advantage lies in focusing on individual core competencies. Individuals who specialize in their areas of expertise can use AI to fill in their gaps and build a business closed loop. If self media professionals use AI to generate scripts and edit videos, psychological counselors rely on AI to build counseling systems, and designers use AI to assist creativity, all of which can achieve autonomous operation throughout the entire process.

Compared to traditional employment and large-scale entrepreneurship, one person companies have both flexibility and risk resistance. Individuals can adjust their direction in real-time without being constrained by team decisions; The low fixed cost model shortens the profit cycle, allows for controllable trial and error losses, and perfectly adapts to the market pace of the AI era.

3、 Seizing the window of opportunity: A survival guide for ordinary people in the AI era

Ordinary people need to master the methods to grasp the dividends: firstly, establish an "AI tool thinking", actively learn and apply various AI tools, and transform them into ability extensions, rather than seeing them as competitors.

Secondly, deepen the cultivation of vertical fields and build barriers. AI can lower the threshold for execution, but it cannot replace individual cognition, experience, and creativity. Only by accurately positioning the track can we break through in homogeneous competition.

Finally, embrace the human-machine collaboration mode, delegate repetitive tasks to AI, and focus on core aspects such as creativity and decision-making. Simultaneously building a personal brand through online platforms, achieving an upgrade from earning a living through orders to monetizing the brand.
