The Exponential Age is here — and our future depends on how we respond

We are sleepwalking into an accelerating computational revolution that will irrevocably and forever change us. We must awaken to this unfolding reality and proactively decide how to respond.

We are just realizing the enormous potential of artificial intelligence (AI) — especially with its convergence with rapidly advancing nanotechnology, molecular engineering, synthetic biology and directed evolution. And now, on the horizon, is quantum computing. Scientists forecast that quantum computing, using atoms instead of transistors, in conjunction with AI, will be thousands of times more powerful (and scary) than AI alone.
