Introduction: Getting Started#

The Evolution of AI Technology and the Potential of One-Person Startups#

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in modern society is truly remarkable. The AI field, which had been somewhat stagnant until the early 2000s, broke through barriers when deep learning technology advanced in 2006. In 2016, it began receiving worldwide attention when Lee Sedol, a 9-dan professional Go player, was defeated by AlphaGo. Then in 2020, OpenAI’s release of ChatGPT sent shockwaves around the world and completely transformed the AI industry landscape. I believe there is no disagreement that AI is currently the hottest term in technology.

Books#

I’ve wanted to write a book for a long time. The question was always: how.

Publishing a printed book usually means working with a publisher, paying significant costs, and going through a long production and distribution process—so the barrier to entry feels high. Even with ebooks, meaningful exposure often requires partnering with a publisher or building your own distribution channels. There are platforms where you can publish an ebook without a publisher (for example, Google Books), but for me they still feel less accessible and harder to get discovered on.

AI Use Cases - Business Ideas#

Business ideas#

Every time a new technology emerges, new opportunities open up. As the internet spread, smartphones arrived, and Bitcoin gained traction, the industrial landscape shifted and new winners appeared. Now we’re in the era of AI. There are many opportunities, and I believe it’s a better time than ever for individuals to take a shot.

One of the most important elements of economic activity is capital, and capital moves toward where it sees value. Many people worry that “AI will replace humans,” but more precisely, AI replaces or reshapes parts of what humans used to do, changing the “shape of work.” In that flow, the people who create something valuable will be the ones who attract capital.
