Exponential Growth in Tech
- Technological advancements, like AI, are growing exponentially, not linearly.
- This makes it difficult to predict future trends, even for experts.
Preparing for Exponential Change
- Use "first principles thinking" to analyze exponential growth.
- Consider feedback loops in your planning to model accelerating change.
Quantum Computing in Automotive
- Volkswagen used quantum computing to optimize vehicle testing schedules.
- This complex problem is intractable for classical computers.
