50 kilometers outside Warsaw, no one knows what the future of AI will look like. It's astonishing. There is a complete lack of respect and understanding of what is important. Of course, it's a bit ironic. Politicians, when asked about the price of bread or butter, don't know the answer. People in smaller towns or villages have no idea what ChatGPT is. Only a very small, almost microscopic part of society is aware of the decline in token prices or the time needed to train a model. The topic of new technologies is very important. Just as important as the economy, demographic issues, or national security. But for the average global citizen, these topics are secondary or even tertiary. A few years ago, I visited the R&D department of one of the largest universities in the United States. A group of young innovators there invented a shoe sole made using 3D technology. After a few years, these soles became the standard for most Adidas sneakers. Some people like them, others don’t care for them. Talking to these guys, I felt they were doing something extraordinary. They were changing the world and our everyday lives. Today, I don’t think about it at all. Only a vague memory of that meeting comes to mind whenever I put them on. What we discuss in very isolated expert, business, or political groups has little to do with the everyday problems of citizens around the world. It's important to realize this. A 10% drop in the price of gold or palladium on the Kuala Lumpur stock exchange is just as relevant to a villager near Poznań as the price of potatoes in Somalia or cattle in Ethiopia. There are about 300 million motorcycles in the world. Every Asian resort is teeming with them, not to mention India, where they are a primary mode of transport. But few people know that there are about 100 million AK-47 rifles (Kalashnikovs) worldwide, with over 50% in the hands of citizens, not the military. The estimated number of rounds of ammunition for these weapons is 21 billion, meaning there are nearly three rounds for every person on earth. 95% of companies worldwide are or will be users of artificial intelligence. Only 5% of companies create it to some extent. We buy, use, and don’t worry about the valuation of the companies producing it. Society, just like individual countries, has long been divided into givers and receivers in many different dimensions. Mass-market technology has been with us for 250 years. Consumer goods entered the market 100 years ago. In the average household in the Western world, fewer than 5% of items are older than 50 years, and that’s only because they have collector’s or sentimental value. In less developed economies, over 30% of items are older than 50 years. In the poorest regions of the world, this figure reaches nearly 50%. The consumerist society is bombarded with new products, trends, and is constantly encouraged to make more purchases. The problem of fast fashion, popularized with business models like Zalando, is being discussed more loudly. Ten years ago, Black Friday encouraged people to embark on long trips to shopping malls. Now we see an exponential rise in deliveries to our doorsteps. The question is whether modern technology has taken our jobs or if we simply no longer have shop assistants but delivery drivers. Habits, needs, and motivations are changing. But remember, we are only talking about 30% of the world’s population.
