Big Tech Is Shrinking. AI Is Rising. Now’s the Best Time to Start Your Own AI-Powered Business

The headlines are everywhere:

Amazon, Intel, Microsoft, and Nike are laying off thousands.

Entire departments are being restructured.

Teams are being replaced with automation.

It’s a tough moment for many but also a rare opportunity for those ready to build something new.

If you’ve ever thought about starting your own business, now might be the best time to do it.

And this time, start with AI at the core.

Layoffs Signal a Major Shift

When global giants start cutting jobs, especially in cloud, retail, and gaming, it’s a clear signal:

• The old way of operating is too bloated
   
• Efficiency is the new king
   
• AI is no longer optional - it’s foundational

In fact, a major driver of these layoffs is AI itself. Companies are consolidating, automating, and reshaping their teams to align with AI-first workflows.

That means entrepreneurs who understand and use AI from Day 1 have an edge.

Why It’s the Perfect Time to Start with AI

Here’s what makes now different:

• Top talent is available: Skilled engineers, designers, and product managers are suddenly on the market
   

• AI tools are better and cheaper than ever: You don’t need a huge team to build an AI product
   

• Customer needs are shifting fast: Businesses and users are open to smarter, leaner, more intelligent solutions
   

• Global access is easier: Thanks to remote work, trade agreements, and virtual accelerators like Austrade’s London Landing Pad
