Scale Founder Alexandr Wang: AI Will Eclipse the Internet & Smartphone Revolutions "My honest take is it's going to be bigger than all of the past trends. The potential disruption of the $16 trillion of services GDP - that's the TAM. That's the potential of AI. That's where you can potentially transform to be 10x more productive, 10x better for the consumer, and 10x economically more efficient in every way. You can't imagine an economic opportunity bigger than that." @alexandr_wang with @loganbartlett on the @loganbartshow
