The Next Renaissance: AI and the Expansion of Human Potential
From one of the world’s leading AI strategists 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.
