A.I. Riches Fuel Economic Divide in Asia's Chip Powerhouses - The New York Times

The AI gold rush is real. But the gold isn't flowing to the businesses buying the tools — it's flowing to the companies making the chips that run them.

Here's what that means for you.

If you bought an AI tool that nobody on your team actually opens, you're not alone. Most business owners are paying for the shovel when they haven't found the mine yet. That's not stupidity — that's what happens when vendors sell solutions before understanding your problem.

The chip companies in Taiwan and Korea are printing money because AI needs them to function. Your business has something similar — a handful of specific, repetitive problems that AI genuinely cannot run without solving. Find those first.

Not every problem in your business is an AI problem. But one or two of them almost certainly are. A customer inquiry that gets answered the same way 80 times a week. A report someone builds manually every Monday morning. Start there.

Ignore the platform. Ignore the hype. Map one painful, repetitive task this week and ask whether a simple AI tool could handle it. That's your 30-day win — not a transformation, just a proof point.

What's the one task your team does on repeat that you'd love to hand off?
