Vaynerchuk Calls AI Biggest Opportunity for Under-25 Entrepreneurs, Reshaping Industries

1 articles · Updated · CoinDesk · Jun 2

Summary

  • Gary Vaynerchuk said AI is creating the biggest financial opportunity yet for people under 25, arguing it lets individuals build products, serve clients and launch businesses with far fewer resources.
  • AI-generated content and automation are shifting value toward strategists and creators, he said, because the technology can increasingly handle execution-heavy work that once required larger teams and operational scale.
  • Businesses that resist AI risk more disruption than adopters, Vaynerchuk said, comparing the technology's long-term importance to the internet and even electricity.
  • Blockchain could gain relevance as AI spreads, he added, because ownership and provenance records become more valuable in a world of deepfakes and synthetic content; he still sees a small number of NFT collections retaining cultural value.
  • His outlook pairs heavier AI use with stronger demand for live events, retail experiences and community-driven interactions, prompting his agency to invest more in experiential marketing.
