Blazing Speed! Forget past rhythms. AI is growing "materially faster" than the Internet ever did. Think about it: ChatGPT reached 90% of its users outside North America in 3 years. The Internet took 23!
Your Advantage: Understanding this acceleration allows you to ride the wave, anticipate trends, and avoid being overwhelmed, adapting your strategies in real-time.
Explosive User Adoption! AI is no longer a niche for tech enthusiasts. ChatGPT hit 800 MILLION weekly active users in just 17 months. For comparison, Netflix took over 10 years to reach 100 million users!
Your Advantage: This means a huge and hungry market for AI. If you have an AI-based idea or service, the audience is ready and growing exponentially!
3. Mind-Boggling Investments! The "Big Six" American tech giants (think Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Nvidia, Meta) pumped their capital expenditure (CapEx) by 63% in just one year, reaching a staggering 212 BILLION dollars in 2024, a large part destined for AI.
Your Advantage: This flood of money indicates that the AI transformation is serious and profound. Those who invest today in AI skills and infrastructure are building their empire of tomorrow.
4. AI Beats Humans (in certain tasks)! This isn't science fiction! In 2024, AI surpassed human performance in complex tests like MMLU (92.3% AI vs 89.8% human) and 73% of the time, in a recent Turing test study, its responses (from GPT-4.5) were mistaken for human.
Your Advantage: Imagine being able to automate complex tasks, increase precision, and free up human genius for creativity and strategy. AI is your augmented co-pilot!
5. Work is Being Redesigned! AI is changing the game in the world of work. In the USA, job postings for AI skills have skyrocketed by +448% in 7 years (from January 2018 to April 2025), while "traditional" IT postings have dropped by 9%. Companies like Shopify and Duolingo are making AI proficiency a basic requirement!
Your Advantage: Acquiring AI skills is no longer an "option"; it's the first-class ticket on the train of the professional future. Update yourself or risk being left behind!
6. High Training Costs, But Usage Costs Plummeting! Creating a cutting-edge AI model can cost billions (it's estimated that model training in 2025 could reach 10 billion dollars). But the good news is that the cost to use these models (inference) has dropped by 99.7% in just two years (from November 2022 to December 2024)!
Your Advantage: This means super powerful AI is becoming increasingly accessible! Small businesses and professionals can now leverage tools previously reserved for giants, unleashing a wave of bottom-up innovation.
7. Stellar Monetization and Fierce Competition! New AI companies are advancing rapidly: OpenAI has an estimated annual revenue of 3.7 BILLION dollars in 2024 (+1050% annually), Anthropic reached an annualized revenue of 2 BILLION dollars in March 2025, +20x in 18 months. But beware, competition is defined as "unprecedented"!
Your Advantage: In such a dynamic market, those who identify profitable niches and agile business models can strike it rich. It's a digital gold rush!
8. Open Source Advances, China Accelerates! Open-source AI models are quickly catching up with their closed-source "cousins," with increasingly similar performance. And keep an eye on China: it's becoming a leader in large-scale AI model releases (surpassing the USA in 2024 for the number of models released) and in installing industrial robots, where it surpassed the rest of the world combined in 2023!
Your Advantage: Open source gives you powerful and customizable alternatives. China's growth, on the other hand, signals an increasingly competitive global landscape. You need to be informed and ready!
9. AI Conquers the Physical World! AI isn't just software. Miles driven by Tesla's fully self-driving cars have increased by about 100 times in 33 months (from June 2022 to March 2025). Waymo, starting from scratch in August 2023, captured 27% of the ride-sharing market (by gross revenue) in San Francisco in just 20 months (as of April 2025)!
Your Advantage: Sectors like transportation, agriculture, logistics, and defense are undergoing a complete transformation. AI is bringing unprecedented efficiency and operational possibilities, even in the "real world."
10. The Next Billion Users and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)! There are still 2.6 BILLION people offline worldwide (32% of the global population). Their first internet experience will likely be AI-driven, perhaps speaking in their native language with an intelligent agent. And AGI, AI with human-level intellectual capabilities, is considered "achievable."
Your Advantage: Preparing for AGI and its impact on new global markets means being ready for a revolution that will forever change software, business, and our very interaction with technology.
Friends, the AI wave isn't just coming; it's already here and building with unprecedented force! Don't just watch from the shore: learn, experiment, integrate. The future is now, and it's artificially intelligent. Get on board and shape it!
Best regards to all,

Content generation for social media, the creation of images, videos, and avatars for influencers, and copywriting for marketing are not the main applications of new generative AI models.
The most interesting technologies in the field of AI are three:
Agents
Context Windows
Text Actions
These three technologies represent the true frontier of industrial automation, environmental adaptation, and user independence. In the field of computer science, we have never been able to achieve this milestone with such efficiency, as artificial intelligence models were based on "narrow intelligence." Now, however, with GPT and the new generative AI models, we are moving towards "general intelligence." What follows is a real revolution capable of changing not only the way we do business but also the society in which we live.

Meta is stepping on the gas to make Meta AI a true benchmark in the world of artificial intelligence. Initially conceived as a digital assistant capable of generating text and images, Meta AI entered our lives by integrating into the apps we use daily: Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger. This move allowed an impressive number of users to experience generative AI directly on their devices.
But Meta isn't stopping there. The company plans to launch a standalone app for Meta AI, a move that could revolutionize how we interact with the digital assistant. The idea is to offer a more engaging and personalized experience, with advanced features like conversation history and integration with hardware devices such as Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses.
And that's not all: Meta is also considering introducing a subscription service for Meta AI, with premium versions of the digital assistant. This strategy, already adopted by other industry giants like OpenAI and Microsoft, could open new monetization opportunities for the company.
An Ambitious Challenge in a Competitive Market
Despite Meta's vast user base, Meta AI still faces fierce competition from rivals like ChatGPT and Gemini. Current data shows that the Meta AI website has fewer visitors than its competitors. However, the digital assistant can count on a wide audience of active users thanks to its integration into Meta's apps.
The road to becoming a leader in the artificial intelligence sector is still long, but Meta seems determined to achieve this goal. The company is investing significant resources in the development of Meta AI and is preparing for increasingly intense competition with other tech giants.

The ethics of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its connection with humanity are topics of crucial importance in the current technological era.
Here are some key points to consider:
Transparency and Accountability: It's essential that AI algorithms are understandable and that responsibility for decisions made by these systems is clear. The AI's "black box" must be as open as possible to ensure trust and accountability.
Fairness and Non-discrimination: AI must not perpetuate or amplify existing societal biases. It's crucial to ensure that algorithms are trained on diverse and representative data.
Privacy and Data Protection: AI often requires the processing of large amounts of personal data. It's necessary to ensure that this data is collected, used, and stored securely and responsibly, respecting individual privacy.
Human Well-being: AI should be used to improve people's lives, not to harm them. The impact of AI on work, health, and social well-being must be considered.
Human-AI Connection
Collaboration, not Substitution: AI should be seen as a tool to enhance human capabilities, not as a replacement. Collaboration between humans and AI can lead to superior results than either could achieve alone.
Human Autonomy: Preserving human autonomy in the decision-making process is fundamental. AI should provide support and information, but the final decision must always rest with humans.
Empathy and Social Interaction: AI can be useful for automating repetitive tasks, but it cannot replace human empathy and social interaction. It's important to find a balance between the use of AI and maintaining human relationships.
Future Implications
The continuous evolution of AI raises profound questions about the future of society and the role of humans. A deep and continuous reflection on these implications is necessary to ensure that AI is used responsibly and beneficially.
In summary, AI ethics requires a multidisciplinary approach involving technology experts, philosophers, legal scholars, and civil society representatives. The connection between humans and AI must be based on principles of collaboration, accountability, and respect for human values.
