In the AI era, experience can become a burden, not an asset

A provocative argument has drawn attention: in the AI era, experience may become a burden rather than an asset. Foundation Capital partner Jaya Gupta (자야 굽타) wrote on X that experience is no longer a moat and, in many cases, is starting to look like a tax. She contrasts senior and junior generations, arguing senior experience can hinder AI innovation. Gupta says decision-makers often have more to lose from failure, and AI narrows expertise gaps built on past examples.
