Paul Chan: The birth lottery is over, now everyone gets superpowers

Decidr

In the latest episode of Decidr’s Founder Series, Co-CEO and Founder Paul Chan explores a profound shift in human history: the moment intelligence itself becomes orchestrated, personalised and universally accessible.

The birth lottery is over: Paul Chan on agentic superpowers

Where once success was shaped by geography, wealth or luck of birth, the next decade will see a levelling of capability. The birth lottery ends when anyone can subscribe to superhuman intelligence and use it to create, connect and contribute at scale.

Paul traces the arc from the physical and information revolutions to the coming “intelligence orchestration age”, where individuals wield the same computational power as today’s largest corporations. He describes a world where ethics, philosophy and values are no longer abstract, they’re coded into systems that help people and organisations pursue goals with integrity and precision. The result is a society where intelligence is not hoarded, but shared. A network of agentic individuals and organisations building a fairer, more abundant world.

Highlights

  1. Intelligence is the new infrastructure. Just as electricity and the internet connected the world physically and digitally, orchestrated intelligence will connect it cognitively, making advanced capability a public utility.
  2. The difference between people or organisations won’t be access to knowledge, but the ambition and goals they choose to pursue. Agentic systems give everyone the tools. Outcomes depend on direction.
  3. Values, once confined to mission statements, will act as real decision weights inside intelligent systems, shaping what gets built, bought and believed.
  4. The “first-world advantage” dissolves as intelligence flows freely. Nations, companies and individuals that embrace this change will lead the next economic expansion.
