Many people still regard AI as "new technology" and "useful tools." At a recent closed-door meeting held by Sequoia Capital, they provided a more profound judgment:

AI is not just technology; it is a brand new economic starting point.

In the past, AI was a "you ask, I answer" model— you made a request, and it helped you complete the task.

Now, AI is becoming more proactive, more like a "partner" or even a "team member."

It is no longer just providing you with a function; it directly helps you achieve a result;

It no longer waits for you to give instructions; it can understand your goals and autonomously find the path to complete them;

It is no longer just a tool; it is a "partner" that can collaborate with you and continuously deliver results.

Therefore, the key to future competition is no longer who can use AI faster but who can redesign team collaboration methods to make AI truly "take on tasks, do work, and deliver results."

If you are still thinking about "how to use AI to help me do something," you are still on the outside.
