Chris Mayer predicts that Artificial Intelligence (AI) will significantly disrupt a large number of businesses, including many currently considered sound. He estimates that the full impact will take about five to ten years to propagate widely, though some individuals are already adopting AI more extensively.
“There's a current example where, uh, AI is going to disrupt a very large number of businesses, a very large number of good businesses.”
“But it's going to take a little while for that to propagate out.”
“But given five or 10 years, it'll probably be much more widely dispersed. Some of those impacts will be felt.”
