The Datapreneurs

AI assistants could become “smarter” than humans by 2033.

The evolution of artificial intelligence will radically disrupt the economy and society as a whole. Three major forces shape today’s economy: Intelligence, labor, and energy. Technological advances have the potential to drastically reduce the cost of all three. The emergence of artificial superintelligence and developments in artificial general intelligence (AGI) could lower costs by adding intelligence to devices and applications. Technological progress in solar, nuclear, wind, and possibly fusion energy are poised to reduce electricity prices. And smart robots could cut the costs of certain forms of labor. As humanity moves into an AI- and data-driven economy, “datapreneurs” — people invested in finding solutions for data ethics and processing in a complex future — must create innovative solutions to navigate the changes ahead.

Within a decade alone, most of the AI assistants you engage with in your everyday life will likely surpass the threshold for median human intelligence, becoming AGIs. Progressive AGI generations will likely evolve into machines that ...
