The Equal Talent Conundrum

AI is making research, coding, design, and analysis affordable for far more people, lowering the cost of testing new ideas. But wealth still determines who can take risks, while capital, networks, proprietary data, and distribution may become even more powerful. As expertise becomes easier to access, the path to building it and sharing in its rewards could grow more complicated.
