RapidKnowHow + ChatGPT | October 2025


1. Executive Overview

Between 2025 and 2030, the world will experience one of the most profound societal transformations in modern history —
the shift from dependent workers to AI-driven entrepreneurs.

Artificial intelligence is democratizing innovation. Tools once available only to corporations are now accessible to every citizen.
By 2030, one in three workers will earn income through AI-powered micro-enterprises, digital products, or service ecosystems.

Core Formula

Citizen + AI = Entrepreneurial Ecosystem
(Personal Competence × AI Capability × Network Collaboration)Sustained Wealth and Freedom
