They say AI is the new electricity.
The limitation to electrifying businesses in the Industrial Revolution wasn’t cutting edge advances, it was the number of electricians.
A power plant doesn’t directly power a business. We first need a distribution grid and then each business needs its own 200amp service, breaker boxes, and wiring that connected its physical devices to the grid.
AI’s tremendous power is the promise to do work on your behalf. How do we connect that power to the tasks we want to delegate?
We need a battery (if you're not tired of this metaphor) that can carry the privileges an AI needs to do its job into the physical world. We need a license not only for humans, but also for AI.
