Tuesday’s Big Idea
Today's Big Idea: Exponential Technology
Where is human intelligence headed? Will it be surpassed (and therefore subordinated) by machines or will it be augmented by artificial intelligence? And what does that mean for human prospects, measured in terms of health, wealth and happiness?
