Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence have placed it at the epicenter of a process of profound transformation in society and organizations. One of the pillars of this transformation is the shift to a paradigm of generating abundance. This new paradigm erodes the competitive advantages of traditional companies and reduces the entry barriers for new companies, allowing the most innovative ones to quickly take the lead and transform traditional industries. In this class you will understand what Artificial Intelligence is, the transformation it is boosting, how this phenomenon occurs, and where the future of Artificial Intelligence will take us. In addition, you will also understand how your company can benefit from this transformation.
In this talk, Alex Nascimento explores how the dynamics of wealth creation are evolving in an increasingly algorithmic world, where data, intelligence, and software-driven systems are reshaping how value is created and captured across industries. The session offers a high-level perspective on emerging economic shifts, highlighting how traditional sources of advantage are being redefined, what this means for long-term investment thinking, and what can be expected in the next chapters for traditional industries that have not yet transformed.
In this talk, Alex Nascimento moves beyond prevailing narratives about artificial intelligence to examine where real, durable value is emerging in an increasingly algorithmic economy. As enthusiasm accelerates adoption, a growing divide is forming between organizations that will successfully navigate this structural transition and those that will not. The session will offer a strategic perspective on this shift, exploring the key elements that explain why many companies are unlikely to cross it — and what ultimately differentiates those that do.
