The AI-Enabled Divide: When the “Can Use” Leave the “Can’t Use” Behind
For the first time in modern times, the gap isn’t about capital, resources, or company size—it’s about capability. The “can use” AI individuals are multiplying their impact tenfold, while the “can’t use” are struggling to keep up. And now, nearly 70% of knowledge workers are showing up at work with their own personal AI accelerants, outperforming their peers and sometimes even entire teams.
When one person with AI can outpace five, when a small operator can compete with an enterprise, when a recruiter using AI can secure talent faster than a firm with 10 consultants—you begin to see the tectonic shift happening in industries everywhere.
