$ 250 per month for using the most advanced AI. That is The figure that Google has put. Six months ago, OpenAi set his in 200. A few days ago Anthropic expanded Claude’s few limits with another 200. In any case It’s not just about paying for technology. It’s about buying power. And, therefore, to mark distances.
Until recently, to talk about ia was talking about universal access. The free chatgpt or gemini versions were far from their older sisters, yes, but allowed to try, learn, benefit from their abilities even if it was a bit. Today that has changed.
The powerful version is no longer available to everyone. It has been encapsulated after a monthly three -digit subscription that does not even start by ‘1’. It is the beginning of a new gap: Not between those who use AI and those who do not, but between those who can automate their tasks, think with help, execute complex flows … and those who do not.
What Google or Openai offers is not just a better chatbot. Is an operating system of intellectual work. An assistant who not only responds, but understands the context, recalls, acts, generates, automates.
Tools like Deep Research (OpenAI) or Project Mariner (Google) represent the decisive step towards Autonomous agents. They execute tasks that previously occupied days of human work. And in many cases they do better. With that, productivity is redefined. But inequality is also redefined.
The question It is not only what this technology can do, but who can afford it. Because we don’t talk about a luxury. We talk about a tool that multiplies the performance of those who use it. An invisible advantage but that impacts everything: from the quality of work to the speed with which objectives are achieved.
Who accesss these models lives in another learning curve, in another economy of results. Who cannot pay them, is trapped in a slower, less capable, more limited version of himself.
This has a clear echo in history: the machinery of the industrial revolution also multiplied productivity … but at first only for those who could afford it. The same goes for now.
The advanced AI begins to consolidate as an elite infrastructure. As if at the beginning of the Internet century, they were only available for those who paid $ 3,000 a year.
And that changes the knowledge map. Because These tools not only report: they model how you learn, how it is decided, how it competes. Its effect is not immediate or visible, but cumulative. Day after day, those who access them will work with less friction, to make better decisions, to delegate more tasks, to generate more and better content.
The others only observe, as much with access to the good, but not maybe. And they lag behind.
The future is already priced.
