AI Platform eating all

Posted on by lechuck park

This diagram illustrates the fundamental paradigm shift in service development across three platform evolution stages.

Platform Evolution:

  1. Cloud Platform
    • Server-Client separation with cloud infrastructure development
    • Developers directly build servers and databases to provide services
  2. SDK Platform
    • Client-side evolution based on specific OS/SDK ecosystems (iOS, Android, Windows)
    • Each platform provides development environments and tools
    • This stage generated “Vast and numerous internet services” – an explosive growth of diverse internet services
  3. AI Platform – “Eating ALL”
    • Fundamental paradigm shift: Instead of developers building individual services, the AI platform itself generates and provides services
    • “All Services by AI”: AI directly provides the diverse services that developers previously created
    • Multimodal capabilities: AI can understand and process all human senses and communication methods (language, vision, audio), enabling all functionalities through natural language conversation without specialized apps or services

Key Transformation:

  • Traditional: Developer → Platform → Service Development → User
  • AI Era: User → AI Platform → Instant Service Generation/Provision

This represents not just tool evolution, but a fundamental reorganization of the service ecosystem where countless specialized services converge into one unified AI platform due to AI’s universal cognitive abilities. The AI platform becomes a total service provider, essentially “eating” all existing service categories.

The “Fair Solution Platform” is designed with the following key concepts:

  1. User Empowerment:
    • All users (chefs, delivery personnel, customers, etc.) can directly choose which service apps to use for actual interactions (ordering, payment, delivery, evaluation, etc.).
  2. Platform Neutrality:
    • The platform provider does not interfere with direct user-to-user interactions.
    • Instead, it creates an environment where various apps can connect and be provided.
  3. Connectivity and Diversity:
    • All apps are connected through the cloud.
    • The platform fosters an ecosystem where diverse apps can be offered.
  4. Additional Features:
    • Provides functionality to search for services and activity results conducted on the platform.
  5. Fair Cost Structure:
    • The platform only charges fees related to its role as a platform.
    • Terms of transactions between users are decided directly by the parties involved.
  6. User Rights Protection:
    • This model aims to safeguard the rights of actual producers and consumers.
