Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha: Entrepreneurship and Self-Improvement Podcast · Peter Norvig: Transforming AI Into the Ultimate Human Advantage | Artificial Intelligence | AI Vault · 26 Dec 2025 podcast

They require big capital investments.

And if you'd asked me two years ago, I would have said, oh, you know, all the AI is going to migrate to the big cloud providers because they're going to be the only ones that can build these large state-of-the-art models.

But I think we're already going past that, right?

So we're now seeing these much smaller open source models that are almost as good and that

you know, don't impose a barrier of huge upfront costs.

So I think there's an opportunity, you know, yes, the big companies are going to get bigger because of this, but I think there's also this opportunity for the small opportunistic entrepreneur to say, here's an opening and I can move much faster than I could before.

And I can be

build something and get it done and then have that available.

So that's part of it.

Then the other part is, well, what about people who aren't entrepreneurs?

And we've seen some encouraging research that says AI right now does alleviate inequality.

And so there've been studies looking at, well, you bring AI assistance into like a call center

And it helps the less skilled people more than the more skilled people, which kind of makes sense, right?

Sort of the people who are more skilled, they already know all the answers.

And the people that were less skilled, it brings them up almost to the same level.

And so I think that's encouraging because that means there's going to be a lot of people who are able to upskill what they do and they'll get higher paying jobs, right?

They're not going to found their own company, but they're going to do better because they're going to have better skills.

Yeah.

So I'm not worried about these Terminator scenarios of an AI waking up and saying, I think I'll kill all humans today.

So what am I worried about?
