The book delves into how these models enable us to perceive the world, understand our sense of self, and originate high-level thought. It also discusses the implications of this theory for machine intelligence and the future of humanity, highlighting potential threats and opportunities[1][4][5].

Salim Ismail
This book, written by Salim Ismail, Yuri van Geest, and Michael S. Malone, explores the concept of Exponential Organizations (ExOs). It outlines how companies can use externalities such as community, big data, algorithms, and new technologies to achieve performance benchmarks ten times better than traditional companies. The book provides a roadmap for transforming any company, from startups to multinationals, into an ExO by leveraging the 10 characteristics of Exponential Organizations, represented by the acronyms S.C.A.L.E. (Staff on Demand, Community & Crowd, AI & Algorithms, Leveraged Assets, Engagement) and I.D.E.A.S (Interfaces, Dashboards, Experimentation, Autonomy, Social)[2][5][6].
In this episode, Peter and Salim take a deep dive into Exponential Organizations and how to harness the power of AI to your advantage within your business.
