The below is a summary of my recent article on Hyper Moore’s Law.
Forget exponential-if you’re still thinking about doubling speeds, you’re already behind.
We’ve officially outpaced Moore’s Law. Welcome to the age of Hyper Moore’s Law, where technological growth moves faster than our ability to fully grasp its impacts. This rapid acceleration is no longer limited to just hardware getting smaller or chips doubling in power every two years. Instead, we’re seeing annual leaps in AI performance, driven by breakthroughs in software, network technology, and infrastructure improvements. This isn’t gradual progress-it’s explosive growth.
For instance, training sophisticated AI models like GPT-4o or Claude 3.7 was once an expensive game reserved for tech giants. Costs have now plunged by 99% in just 18 months, turning yesterday’s luxuries into today’s business essentials. Every six months, AI efficiency doubles, sparking massive adoption and democratizing advanced technology for companies of all sizes.
The ripple effects are vast:
Quantum computing and biotechnology advancements are accelerating, solving problems previously deemed unsolvable. We’re talking precise gene editing with CRISPR and new breakthroughs in medicine made possible by AI-driven modeling.
Energy consumption concerns are escalating rapidly, with data centers becoming among the largest consumers of electricity worldwide. Sustainability isn’t optional anymore; it’s imperative.
Geopolitical competition heats up, creating what some call a digital Cold War between tech powerhouses like the U.S. and China. Each aims for dominance, reshaping alliances, trade, and global supply chains along the way.
But with rapid innovation comes deep responsibility. As technological power grows, so do unintended consequences. Ethical challenges surrounding AI, data privacy, misinformation, and energy sustainability need equally innovative solutions. Navigating this complexity demands thoughtful leadership, clear foresight, and systems-level thinking.
Adapting successfully to this new era means staying agile without losing sight of our values. It’s no longer enough to chase after exponential change-we must understand, anticipate, and guide it responsibly.
Are we truly ready to thrive in this supersonic landscape, or will unchecked speed become our greatest vulnerability? Navigating this unprecedented pace of change demands foresight and flexibility. How equipped is your organization to manage the responsibilities-and opportunities-that Hyper Moore’s Law brings?
