The AI Revolution's Acceleration is Accelerating
This isn't normal change. Most people, including experts, do not understand the exponential nature of tech change while it's happening.
Why This Matters Now
What took decades in previous technological revolutions is now happening in months.
We're approaching a threshold where AI won't just assist humans—it will autonomously handle complex, multi-step projects that currently require days or weeks of focused human effort.
2026: AI routinely improves itself and operates independently for hours. Exponential popularity and quality of intelligent robots.
2027: AI handles cognitive (information-based) work better than most people in most jobs.
2028: AI is now operating like groups of expert scientists, creating testable hypotheses for breakthrough science.
2029: AI independently creates complete movie scripts based on your favorite movies ... and you love them.
2030: AI is doing things that frankly would sound insane, beyond what anybody could even predict.
This transformation is driven by converging forces: massive infrastructure investment, exponential computing power increases, algorithmic breakthroughs, and—critically—AI improving itself.
Industries are being rewritten: AI-designed drugs, new materials for construction and energy, optimized supply chains, fundamental discoveries in physics and chemistry. The pace isn't slowing—it's compounding.
Job markets, skill requirements, business models, and innovation itself are shifting faster than institutions can adapt. The future isn't arriving gradually—it's rushing toward us with increasing velocity.
