The dominance of giants like Microsoft, Nvidia, and Google may be temporary. As automation and AI diffuse rapidly, the need for massive proprietary infrastructure diminishes, making it easier for startups and small players to innovate. The point at which the market's concentration of wealth diffuses into society is analogous to historic monopolies dissolving—railroads, steel, oil—when better, more democratized dissemination methods emerged.
The current wave of AI-driven productivity and automation might catalyze "creative destruction," eroding the basis of large tech corporations. In a future where AI manages infrastructure and delivers services autonomously, the traditional corporate model may become obsolete.
