Two years after ChatGPT burst onto the scene as the fastest-growing app in history, its legacy has so far been an $8 trillion boon for Big Tech. Companies like Nvidia, Microsoft, and Amazon have dominated the AI boom, driving a 30% gain in the S&P 500 since 2022. Meanwhile, generative AI startups face challenges from high costs and competition with tech giants replicating their innovations. Despite the hype around its transformative potential, AI’s wealth concentration at the top highlights the need for democratization through smaller, task-focused models and niche applications in areas such as healthcare and law.

My Take

As we reflect on the AI boom, leaders must advocate for a balanced ecosystem where innovation thrives at all levels—not just within tech giants. By fostering collaboration, investing in niche solutions, and supporting fair competition, we can ensure AI’s benefits extend beyond corporate giants to reshape industries and society in meaningful ways.
