The cost of a cream biscuit packat in India has fallen about 25 times, adjusted for inflation, between 1981 - 2024. How do I know this?
India Inflation Calculator - a rare inflation calculator with annual inflation rates baked in - shows that Rs 25 in 1981 is equivalent to Rs 540 in 2024. That's about 25 times more than the Rs 21 it costs today.
1. Autonomous Multi-Sided Marketplaces. AI-powered platforms coordinate complex services with minimal human oversight—think “Uber for Everything,” but the platform sets pricing dynamically, schedules both supply and demand, and resolves disputes algorithmically.
2. Collective Intelligence Ecosystems. Communities pool data, expertise, and AI models to tackle shared problems—like an open-source “GitHub for AI,” but with embedded micropayments or tokenized incentives to reward contributors whenever the models are used commercially.
3. Zero-Employee Companies. Fully automated software entities—legal frameworks might allow an AI to manage services, pay taxes, and sign contracts. These “companies” only hire humans as needed, on-demand, for edge cases AI can’t handle.
4. Context-Aware Knowledge Platforms. Imagine a Wikipedia that not only retrieves static info but also tailors each page in real time to the reader’s personal context, language level, and preferences—generating content on the fly. User feedback loops train the system to improve.
5. Data Cooperatives / Data DAOs. Groups collectively own their data and license it to AI companies on a revenue-share basis. Individuals have a direct financial stake in how their shared data is leveraged, voting on permissible use cases.
6. Personalized Service Layers. Similar to GitHub’s “forking” model, but for entire user experiences. Each user can clone and customize an AI service (whether it’s a personal grocery shopper or a content curator) and can share or monetize improvements with the broader network.
