Igor's call, in full
Big Tech is spending over $650 billion on AI in 2026, and every model needs more data than the last. The public internet has been fully scraped, so they turned to the only industry sitting on the next data layer: the nearly 4,000 data brokers most people have never heard of. I forecast the full human data economy feeding AI hits $1 trillion per year by 2030, and the data-broker industry alone hits $630 billion by 2035. Your complete personal profile sells for 36 cents today. As AI shifts to hyper-specific behavioral and biometric data, I forecast that profile rises to $50 by 2030. The scale is already staggering: Acxiom holds 3,000 data points on 2.5 billion people; Oracle has aggregated more than 5 billion profiles. The oil rush of our era is you. Human data is becoming the foundation of the global economy, and almost nobody is pricing it.
