Two decades ago, I started as a journalist focusing on data centers. And through that work, I became so

And ever since then, I've been trying to tell the world that one day AI systems would become so powerful they could alter national security, change the economic trajectory of the planet, and perhaps eventually gain the

multitude of destabilizing forces that is shaping your world and your work. And what I'm here to explain today is that AI is on a course to bring about even more change than what we are currently expecting and we should prepare accordingly and I'll explain why. For many years, researchers and science fiction authors have forecast a future
