The Coming Wave: Our Technological Destiny Hangs in the Balance
We stand at the most consequential crossroads in human history. Two unstoppable technological forces-artificial intelligence and biotechnology-are converging to create what Mustafa Suleyman calls "the coming wave." This isn't distant science fiction. It's unfolding now, reshaping power structures and potentially human existence itself. As co-founder of DeepMind (acquired by Google for $500 million) and Inflection AI, Suleyman speaks with the rare authority of someone who has built the very technologies he now warns about. Throughout history, technological waves have defined our evolution as tool-using creatures. From the printing press democratizing knowledge to electricity transforming economies, each wave follows a pattern: innovation, cost reduction, and explosive adoption that fundamentally alters society. What makes these waves so powerful is their inevitability-once unleashed, economic and practical advantages eventually overcome all barriers. The nuclear exception proves this rule: despite immense strategic value, nuclear proliferation has been limited through intentional global containment. But even this remains fragile. What makes our current moment unique? We're experiencing not just one wave but a "superwave" of multiple transformative technologies evolving simultaneously, creating feedback loops that accelerate innovation across domains. The question isn't whether this wave comes-it's already building-but how we navigate through it.
