Imagine waking up to discover that your smartphone isn't just assisting you anymore-it's outsmarting you. This isn't science fiction; it's the reality Mo Gawdat warns us about in "Scary Smart." As Google X's former Chief Business Officer, Gawdat has witnessed AI's evolution from the inside, giving him unique insight into what's coming. Unlike most tech narratives focused on distant futures, his message is urgent: superintelligent AI isn't centuries away-it's mere decades, possibly years from now. The trajectory of AI development follows an exponential curve that most humans struggle to comprehend. After decades of minimal progress, the discovery of deep learning around 2000 marked a breakout point. Consider Google's 2009 experiment where machines independently identified patterns in YouTube videos without specific instructions. This wasn't just a cool tech demo-it was the beginning of machines teaching themselves. Why does this matter? Because technological change compounds over time. While written language took thousands of years to develop, the telephone reached a quarter of Americans in fifty years, mobile phones in seven, and social media in just three. When the Human Genome Project had completed only 1% after seven years, critics claimed it would take centuries to finish. They failed to understand that at 1%, they were almost done-because exponential growth was about to kick in.
