The world of AI is shifting at a rapid pace and the newly launched Chinese DeepSeek is emerging as a strong alternative to OpenAI as it is offering AI technology at a fraction of the cost. DeepSeek is enabling smaller firms to compete with tech giants without breaking the bank. CEO of German startup Novo […]

Please tell us about the company and what made you develop this platform? What is the market gap or opportunity your platform is addressing?

Elon Musk has finally spoken on the Chinese AI startup DeepSeek and his response is far from glowing. Musk expressed his doubts about the rapid rise of the new chatbot in the AI space through social media. DeepSeek has been making waves with its impressive AI model named R1. It has gained attention for being […]

The European Union has officially taken a significant step in regulating artificial intelligence (AI) equipped with first compliance deadline for its AI Act that is now in effect. Regulators can now ban AI systems deemed to pose an “unacceptable risk” to users. The AI Act was approved by the European Parliament in March 2024 and […]

Maharashtra has lately taken a major step with an aim to shape the future of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in India. It has announced to establish the first-ever AI university in the country. It is an ambitious project and believe to position the state as a global leader in AI education, research as well as innovation. […]

OpenAI, Sam Altman, Elon Musk, xAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Google, Apple… all these companies are racing to build AGI by 2025, and once achieved, it will be replicated by dozens of others within weeks. The idea of creating a compressed knowledge base of humanity, extracting information, and iterating on outputs to optimize results is no longer revolutionary. Thousands of engineers worldwide can replicate what OpenAI has accomplished because it primarily involves scaling up Transformers — a model developed by Google, which itself was just an advancement of prior AI research.

But what comes next?

Workforce

The next big shift: Every company on the planet will start replacing workloads with AGI wherever possible to maximize profit margins. Companies won’t hire as much because their existing employees will be 10x more productive with AI agents.

Startups and New Companies

Launching new startups — many of which are essentially databases with a layer of applications — will become nearly impossible. Why? Because SaaS is much more than just a product; it involves extensive behind-the-scenes deals, massive distribution networks, and an established customer base. Existing SaaS giants will dominate every corner of the industry, leveraging AGI to achieve 100x more efficient processes. New players will struggle to compete. Founders traditionally find opportunities in dysfunctional parts of the industry or niche markets, but with AGI, even those opportunities will vanish.

Healthcare

Diagnostic medicine will be one of the first sectors disrupted by AGI. Initially, there will be talks about fairness, democratizing healthcare, and empowering doctors by “keeping humans in the loop.” However, over time, the economic pressure and efficiency of AGI will reduce the role of doctors, eventually replacing them with AGI and healthcare robotics. The sector’s current shortages and inefficiencies will accelerate this transformation.

Humanity’s Transformation

Every aspect of humanity will change — not solely because of OpenAI, xAI, Google DeepMind, or others — but because AGI can be built by anyone with enough incentives and the resources to purchase GPUs. And with GPU costs dropping over time, AGI development will become increasingly accessible.

So, What’s the Right Move?

There will be countless positive aspects to the emergence of AGI, but you need to make the right decisions now! Keep investing in companies, particularly tech companies, because they will soon reshape the entire world.
