The Acceleration of Paradigm Shifts in Technology
The advancement of technology is currently characterized by rapid paradigm shifts that compress time intervals between significant breakthroughs. Historical milestones, such as the introduction of Glove and semantic embedding, GPT-2, and the latest GPT-4, exemplify how these changes are happening at an accelerating pace. Notably, this year, the tech community has been humorously noting that if eight hours pass without major announcements in artificial intelligence, it might be considered an 'AI winter.' This phenomenon aligns with predictions from Ray Kurzweil's work, which underscores the importance of monitoring such shifts as we approach the prospects of artificial general intelligence (AGI).
