AI as the New Working Class
Translated from Russian with the help of AI. Original: Russian version
AI is no longer just a tool but a new working class that is set to upend the economy, business and the labor market. Companies that adopt it first will pull ahead and crush their rivals, while everyone else will have to adapt or disappear.
I am continuing to publish my speech from CFO Summit 2025.
We are on the threshold of a revolution that will turn the economy, business and the labor market upside down. Artificial intelligence is no longer just a tool: it is a new working class. It does not sleep, does not tire, does not make mistakes. It works 24/7, cuts costs, raises productivity and erases the boundary between human and machine.
The banks, companies and corporations that are first to adopt AI will surge ahead and destroy their competitors. Everyone else will have to adapt or disappear.
And this is only the beginning. Thousands of professions will cease to exist. AI is not merely changing the market; it is creating it anew.
