Peter Thiel, the co-founder of PayPal and Palantir, is making his contributions in AI through a blend of investments, strategic initiatives, and thought leadership. Recently, Thiel’s Founders Fund co-led an $85 million seed investment in Sentient, an open-source AI development platform.
His vision extends to the job market, where he predicts AI will disrupt professions requiring strong mathematical skills, asserting that its impact will be ‘worse for people in maths than words’. Thiel views AI’s evolution as a long-term process, similar to the internet’s growth in the late 1990s and early 2000s. He suggests it might take 15-20 years for AI to become ‘super dominant’.
In the shorter term, he anticipates that AI models could soon solve all US Math Olympiad problems, signalling a leap in AI’s mathematical capabilities. Thiel also sees a societal shift where the emphasis on mathematical skills could decrease, as AI alters current biases.
