Mark Cuban on AI powering new American Dream: 'great democratizer' for Gen Z | Fortune
"Right now, if you're a 14-to-18-year-old and you're in not so good circumstances, you have access to the best professors and the best consultants,"
"It allows people who otherwise would not have access to any resources to have access to the best resources in real time,"
"You can compete with anybody."
"That's like [a business owner] saying back in the day, 'I don't need to use a PC. I don't need to use the internet. I don't need a cell phone or WiFi,'"
AI can democratize access to high-quality teaching and professional advice, giving disadvantaged 14-to-18-year-olds real-time access to top professors and consultants. The technology enables people with fewer resources to use the best tools and compete with anyone. Entry-level workers aged 22–25 face hiring challenges, particularly in AI-disrupted sectors like software engineering, according to a Stanford study. Daily use of AI is framed as essential and comparable to baseline skills like email or Excel, while refusing adoption is likened to rejecting PCs or the internet. Practical AI uses include coding assistance for price-tracking software and personal health evaluation.
