Already abundant in the United States and China: the extraordinary secret of the AI era, earning 200 hundred-million won per 1 person / Professor Yoon Seok-bin (full version)

Professor Yoon Seok-bin explains that as AI sharply reduces the costs of knowledge and execution, the existing order centered on educational pedigree, employment, and capital is being shaken, ushering in an era of “1 person businesses” in which a small number of people direct large numbers of AI agents. In this era, competitiveness comes less from long hours spent mastering skills themselves than from intent—the ability to define the problem one wants to solve and the direction to take—existing domain expertise, imagination, curation, and community. He argues that because identity, reputation, verification, and payments become important in an AI agent economy, integration with blockchain, stablecoins, and zero-trust security is necessary. Businesses are unlikely to achieve results merely by adding AI to individual tasks; they need to redesign their data, processes, organizations, culture, and leadership in an AI-native way. In particular, they must move beyond an “open loop,” in which work context disappears in messaging apps and phone calls, and build a “closed loop,” in which all execution and feedback accumulate as real-time data. He identifies MCP-based connections, continuous agent execution, a shared language called an ontology, sufficient investment in tokens, and model routing as the elements needed for this. He advises individuals to become orchestrators coordinating hundreds of agents rather than using AI merely as a tool, and to immerse themselves in the work, even for just one or two hours each day, to discover their own intent and direction.
