The Role of Improbable Innovations
Innovators play a vital role in shaping the future by creating scenarios that seem unlikely. This perspective challenges conventional expert opinions, which often lean toward extrapolating past trends. For instance, predictions about the rapid development of electric vehicles were deemed unrealistic until Elon Musk's vision transformed the industry. Entrepreneurs such as Musk and the team at OpenAI have defied these expert forecasts, demonstrating that driving change often involves embracing and believing in the improbable.
