AI Revolution: Technology Has Never Been So Individual

A new generation of AI systems promises personal all-around care that was previously reserved only for the super-rich.

In an interview with WirtschaftsWoche, Richard Socher, computer scientist and CEO of You.com, explains that future AI assistants will attend to us with a level of individuality that is currently only known from the world of billionaires.

Future of AI Assistance

Socher describes how advanced systems deeply analyze our personal data, preferences, and life circumstances—such as health, nutrition, or work habits—and derive personalized recommendations from them. Users should benefit from intelligent support without having to recognize that it is AI.

Investments Require Infrastructure

A crucial prerequisite is significant investments in data centers, energy supply, and data analysis. According to Scalable Capital, the global AI infrastructure will gain importance by 2027—expenditures will rise from approximately 26 billion USD (2022) to about 195 billion USD. Only with this foundation can AI become so individualized and efficient.

Economic and Social Impact

While manufacturers of AI models like OpenAI or Google are still grappling with profit models, it is primarily chip manufacturers like Nvidia that are benefiting—they provide critical hardware for AI systems. At the same time, the use of AI is growing across industries: from healthcare to financial services to industry. In Germany, 42% of companies are already using at least one of the key technologies such as AI.

Risks and Regulation

With the power and complexity of AI, data protection issues, susceptibility to errors, and manipulation risks are also increasing. Therefore, the EU has created a legal framework with the AI Act to ensure safe applications.

Conclusion – Living at AI Level

Socher predicts a future in which personal AI assistants will provide us with care at the level of individual attention—similar to how billionaires are cared for today. Whether this promise becomes a reality for everyone depends on infrastructure, regulation, and the ethical handling of the technology.
