Dan Pratl Believes The Credibility Economy Is Coming And It Will Redefine Value In The Age Of AI
The Next Web, Thursday, April 2nd, 2026
A growing sense of unease is shaping how professionals engage with artificial intelligence, particularly as its capabilities expand across information creation and execution.
Dan Pratl, founder of Quadron, believes this anxiety reflects a deeper structural issue that extends beyond automation and into how value itself is recognized.
'We've reached a point at which the maturation of AI has meant that almost everyone feels insecure,' Pratl says, pointing to a broader disconnect between technological advancement and the systems designed to reward human contribution. In his view, existing frameworks for recognition and financial return have either failed to evolve or have devolved into what he frames as speculative or game-like environments, referencing developments in crypto markets and retail-driven trading ecosystems.
