Personal Intelligence May Outvalue AGI as AI App Layer

KEY FACTS

The author predicts AGI will become commoditized, while personal intelligence (PI) will be scarce and valuable.
People will own and train their own PI to extend their capabilities to others.
Choosing a PI will be like choosing an AGI model; different PIs will produce different outputs from the same prompt.
PI training data will go beyond language to include biological and emotional responses.
AGI companies will build tools and robots for PI, and PI will be protected by intellectual property rights.

PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Personal intelligence may become the new focal point of AI competition, allowing ordinary users to profit by training on their own data. But the technology is not yet mature, and data privacy and ethical issues remain unresolved. If realized, it will reshape content creation and value distribution, and is worth watching.
