Not all technological growth slows down quickly. Moore’s Law, which has seen the processing capability of computer chips double roughly every two years, has been true for fifty years. AI might continue to accelerate in this way. One reason this might occur is the so-called flywheel—AI companies might use AI systems to help them create the next generation of AI software. Once this process starts, it may be hard to stop. And at this pace, AI becomes hundreds of times more capable in the next decade.
