Key Takeaways

We will have artificial superintelligence by 2035: “Superintelligence” implies intelligence that is beyond the sum of what humans can do
As important as nuclear fusion and fission may be for the future, they will not arrive soon enough to meet the immediate surge in global power demand driven by AI and data infrastructure
- Learning machines accelerate to their natural limit, and the current limit of AI systems is electricity
- Greater energy infrastructure is essential to support the intellectual capacity required for a superintelligent abundance
We will have specialized savants in every field, within five years; the real question is, once we have all these savants, do they unify? Do they ultimately become superhuman?
The emergence of superintelligence comes with huge proliferation issues: Competitive issues, China vs. the US issues, electricity issues; we do not even have the language for the deterrence and proliferation aspects of these powerful models
The “Mutually Assured AI Malfunction” geopolitical competition framework: If one nation races ahead to develop superintelligent AI, rivals may sabotage their progress (through cyberattacks or strikes) to avoid destabilizing power imbalances
Whatever enables faster learning loops is the business moat of the future
“The real risk is not Terminator, it’s drift. AI won’t destroy humans violently, but might slowly erode human values, autonomy, and judgment if left unregulated or misunderstood.” – Eric Schmidt
- The tools change, but the structure of humanity will not
When superintelligence emerges, every person will have the sum of Einstein and Leonardo da Vinci in their pocket; how humans choose to use their polymath is the question
“We don’t know what artificial general intelligence will deliver, and we don’t know what artificial super intelligence will deliver, but we know it’s coming.” – Eric Schmidt
