All Things Exponential for an Exponential age
A very Big Issue
AI and the emerging technologies around it are developing exponentially; making steeper, more transformative progress over ever shortening periods.
This is in complete contrast to humans who for 250,000 years have developed in a linear fashion; with small, incremental changes over regular & consistent periods.
“If you’re not actively disrupting your enterprise somebody else is”
This difference between exponential and linear seriously impacts our capacity both to face the challenges & grasp the vast spectrum of opportunities afforded by AI.
Slide from keynote speech by Jensen Huang CEO of NVIDIA March 24 demonstrating exponential nature of computational power used to drive AI
I’m Vincent and I founded Brainstorm: Exponential because I’m both blessed and cursed with the notion that every problem will give up its secrets if you just love it enough.
A graph detailing exponential. If you want to experience difference do these two sums in your head. Linear: 8+8+8+8+8= ?. Exponential 8x8x8x8x8 = ?. Note how fast the second became complex and difficult.
exponential in action
AI’s recent exponential explosive advances in capability allowed me to create this entirely AI version of me with tech that simply did not exist just a few months earlier.
Further exponential advances allowed me to then seamlessly translate and synchronise my words into Mandarin which is just one of over 7,000 languages I do not actually speak a word of.
