Recommendation

Technological innovation is “advancing at an exponential rate.” It’s therefore imperative, say investors Daniel Doll-Steinberg and Stuart Leaf, that society decides what kind of future it wants. This decision depends on understanding the potential of today’s and tomorrow’s technology. The authors provide a comprehensive overview of current and possible technologies and trends, including sentient artificial intelligence (AI), super-powerful quantum computers, and the migration of real-world activities to a computer-simulated “metaverse.”

Take-Aways

  • Technological innovation is fomenting a “Cognitive Revolution.”
  • Artificial intelligence (AI) is a “foundational technology” of the Cognitive Revolution.
  • Foundational technologies require “enabling technologies.”
