Expertise could become universally accessible for the first time in history
From the whitepaper "Accelerate Europe":
<<Expertise could become universally accessible for the first time in history
For most of human history, access to world-class expertise has been one of the scarcest and most unevenly distributed resources. General-purpose AI is beginning to change this. A survey of over 80,000 AI users in 159 countries revealed that the most frequently cited advantages were time savings, improved decision-making, and enhanced learning capabilities (Anthropic 2026). Entrepreneurs in sub-Saharan Africa described AI as "an equalizer", a means to access knowledge and capabilities that would otherwise be far out of reach. Developing regions are substantially more optimistic about AI than Western Europe, precisely because they see it as a tool for overcoming barriers that the developed world often takes for granted.>>
I agree with this. In the past politicians used to say that investing in education would enable developing countries to catch up. But even highly educated persons know far less than the entire knowledge available at the Internet, which chatbots have access to. Therefore the current progress in technology is far more beneficial for third-world countries than the educational reforms of the past.
