He’s been at the heart of AI for over three decades: as world-renowned AI expert, as an investor in hundreds of companies focused on AI and other exponential tech, and as a senior executive at some of the world’s top tech companies, including Apple, Google, and Microsoft.Īs Kai-Fu puts it, the driving forces behind the recent advances in AI have certainly been increasing computation-but even more importantly, an abundance of available data. These are questions that Kai-Fu is uniquely qualified to answer. What was the inflection point when AI really started to take off? Was it merely a matter of advancing computation? What drove the rapid change? THE LATEST ADVANCES IN AI: HOW WE GOT TO NOW Understanding “Your AI Future” is one of the key focus areas during my year-round Abundance360 Mastermind and Executive program. In today’s blog, I’m going to give you an overview of our discussion of AI 2041, what you should and shouldn’t fear, and what this means for managing our AI-driven future. This Tuesday (September 14 th) will be the book’s “coming out party” available on Amazon and on Audible. I recently sat down with Kai-Fu to discuss AI 2041 and his vision for AI.

In his new book AI 2041, Kai-Fu and his co-author, science fiction writer Chen Qiufan, lay out 10 stories-10 visions-of where 20 years of AI progress may lead us. Kai-Fu is Chairman and CEO of Sinovation Ventures, a $3 billion venture fund with a focus on exponential technologies and AI, and a world-renowned AI expert with over 30 years in the field, including senior executive roles at Apple, Google, and Microsoft. I can’t think of a better person to answer these questions than my dear friend and visionary investor Dr. Terminator-style killer bots or conversational agents that are your friends and mentors on the internet?ĭoes 20 years of AI progress scare you, or excite you? If you had to predict what AI will look like in 20 years, what would you envision?
