Modretro CEO Says AI is a Tsunami That Must Be Surfed
Casey, founder of Modretro, stated at the Axios AI+NY summit that AI is an impending tsunami and advised everyone to find their "boat or surfboard" to embrace this transformation with a clear path.
Casey emphasized that in the face of the AI wave, one should not be passively defensive but actively position themselves and leverage their strengths through adaptive strategies to seize opportunities.
In market mechanisms, businesses and individuals are buying AI adaptation tools and transformation consulting while selling off traditional business dependencies; event-driven summits discuss and spread industry consensus, directing funds towards AI infrastructure and transformation services, benefiting companies and leaders who actively embrace change, while traditional entities that resist adaptation or lag in transformation face pressure.

Casey, as the founder of Modretro, has previously shared observations on AI strategy in public forums. At this summit, he continued his long-standing judgment on the disruptive impact of AI by using the tsunami metaphor, echoing the industry's consensus shift from passive response to active positioning.
In terms of capital pathways, leaders mobilize teams and ecosystem resources towards AI integration through public statements, motivated by the desire to reduce transformation uncertainty and seize productivity leap windows. Strategically, this transforms individual/business positioning into competitive advantages while providing investors with a clear narrative framework.
Similar to successful transformers in past technological waves (like companies in the internet era), AI is currently at a critical stage of transitioning from experimental validation to industry-wide reconstruction. Actively seeking a "surfboard" has become a prerequisite for survival and leadership.
Essentially, this is a technological substitution: AI replaces traditional workflows with exponential capabilities, reshaping value chain divisions, forcing individuals and organizations to redefine roles, and driving society from a defensive posture to proactive adaptation and leverage utilization.

In the technological tsunami, there is no escape; those who find their surfboards first will control the direction of the wave. Passive defense leads to sinking, while active positioning serves as leverage, with adaptability determining survival pricing power. In the wave of transformation, a clear path outweighs scale; those who clarify their positioning first will capture the new ecological dividends.
