The article discusses the rapid changes in the artificial intelligence landscape, highlighting a recent example where a small startup, DeepSeek, instantly disrupted large established players like OpenAI and Microsoft. Michael Watkins, a leadership professor, emphasizes that companies must be agile and adaptive, comparing the situation of AI's evolution to dinosaurs facing an asteroid versus surfers navigating a massive wave. He points to a sell-off in tech stocks as a result of uncertainty surrounding AI profitability, demonstrating the importance of staying ahead in this fast-evolving field.
When I talk about AI, I often put up two slides. The first is the dinosaur admiring an incoming asteroid, and the second is a surfer surfing a very large wave. You cannot afford to be the dinosaur.
An enormous uncertainty about, you know, the progression and profitability of the industry rises. And so I think it's just an illustration of how rapidly the landscape can just shift in very fundamental ways.
