AI creates 4 major business opportunities

28. The logic of technological evolution in the next 25 years is clear: first, AI, digital governance and organizational change at the foundation level; second, the survival level, represented by medical care and education; third, the application level, such as robots, unmanned driving and space exploration; and finally, the ultimate level of human exploration, covering life sciences and brain-computer interfaces.
29. AI is the most cutting-edge field at present, but it is no longer a game that ordinary startups can participate in – unless they find another way, the ticket to this game requires at least $1 billion. At least from the investment required for the research and development of AI, the AI ​​field will still be dominated by giants.
30. In the future, there may be two or three leaders in the global AI field, or there may be one leader and two followers. The status of the leader is only temporary, and may only last for 10 years at most, or even shorter, only 8 or 7 years.
31. What deserves more attention in the field of AI are those sub-fields that are empowered by AI, that is, AI applications in the mirror world, or various bots in the B2B world.
32. It can be said with certainty that the most important impact of AI so far is to give birth to better AI.
33. The fastest-growing field in the next 25 years must be the field that fully benefits from AI technology. The industry worth choosing will be deeply integrated with cutting-edge technology, and will be able to achieve its own development with the help of technological leaps, allowing participants to seize opportunities in the tide of the times instead of being eliminated.
34. If the change from search to recommendation is the great change that has taken place on the Internet in the past 25 years, then customized/personalized products and services will be the most important change in the next 25 years, and the basis of customization/personalization is a comprehensive understanding of individuals.
35. Whether it is the virtual world or the Internet of Things world, the collection and use of big data will become the fundamental feature of the future AI era, there is no doubt about it.
36. From the perspective of the commercial value of the space economy, Bezos’ Blue Origin company cannot rely on space tourism to raise enough funds. In the future, space tourism will definitely be a niche project, with a market size of at most US$4 to 5 billion, and it is unlikely to form an economic scale to support space exploration.
37. From the perspective of commercial value, low-Earth orbit, that is, satellites and communications, will still be the most profitable area in the private space industry. Musk’s Starlink will provide full coverage of satellite communications for the world, which is a good example.
38. Globalization has made data transmission everywhere, monitoring the ground and measuring things increasingly important, while humans are still in the early stages of using low-Earth space for communication, monitoring and observation. Therefore, future demand is enough to promote the great development of this industry, and more players will join, build more rockets and send more satellites into low-Earth orbit.
39. In the next 25 years, there will be thousands of satellites around low-Earth orbit monitoring everything. These satellites will also become an important infrastructure for the interconnection of the mirror world. Of course, they will also bring new challenges, because the low-Earth orbit is already very crowded, so a new industry will emerge in the next 25 years – space debris cleaning.
40. Another potential area is the space industry in low-Earth orbit, that is, trying to build large factories in low-Earth orbit and then send products back to Earth, or building power stations in low-Earth orbit, trying nuclear fusion research, and transmitting energy back to Earth through microwaves or other forms.
