For years, we have been told that we live in an Attention Economy.
An economy where the most valuable resource is attention and the winners are those who can capture it.
For a long time, that was true.
But something is changing.
Artificial intelligence is making information abundant. Words, images, videos, summaries and answers can now be generated almost instantly. The barriers to publishing have collapsed.
Anyone can create content.
Anyone can publish.
Anyone can generate information.
And when something becomes abundant, it becomes less valuable.
This is why I believe we are entering something new:
The Interpretation Economy
An economy where value is no longer created by access to information.
It is created by helping people understand what information means.
