Andrej Karpathy says this AI gap is widening
Renowned AI researcher Andrej Karpathy says the gap is widening among the small subset of the population that uses AI.
Andrej Karpathy, an AI researcher and former OpenAI cofounder, has observed that the gap in AI diffusion is widening. According to Karpathy, approximately 75% of the world's population, or 6 billion people, have barely come into contact with large language models (LLMs). The remaining users are divided into three groups: casual and infrequent users of free-tier ChatGPT-like products, numbering around 1 to 2 billion people; developers who utilize frontier models for coding, which is estimated to be around 20 million individuals, or 0.2% of the population; and a small group of just 5,000 people who have inside access to frontier AI systems, likely due to their employment at leading companies.
Karpathy believes this gap is evolving from a situation where "two groups of people are speaking past each other" to a "sharp funnel."
