The Next Renaissance: AI and the Expansion of Human Potential

From one of the world’s leading AI futurists comes a fascinating exploration of the greatest leap in the history of technology.

Human beings evolve biologically in a slow, linear fashion. But societally, we experience “great leaps”— critical inventions or geopolitical shifts that propel us forward by orders of magnitude. The discovery of fire, the wheel, the printing press, the steam engine, electricity—these moments reshaped the course of history.

In The Next Renaissance, entrepreneur and futurist Zack Kass argues that AI stands to be the greatest leap yet. With his trademark insight and optimism, Kass explains that we’re on the verge of the most significant technological event in human history—one that will usher in the next renaissance.

Thanks to the coming emergence of artificial general intelligence, or AGI, this chapter in our species’ story will be marked, above all, by a massive surge in human potential and productivity, which will unlock profound advances in science, technology, health, education, robotics and the political economy.

The question now isn’t, “Are we building a better future?” It’s, “Are we building an exceptionally better future?”
