AI vs electricity: The AI startup playbook – Towards Data Science

He concludes with making the claim that humans probably represent the limit of vertebrate evolution. We will need to work together for the next phase in evolution, just like the unicellular organisms did when they became multicellular. All evolutionary processes are repeated patterns that look the same i.e. fractals. This gets quite interesting if we think of technology progress and adoption as a form of cultural evolution that follows a similar pattern. The AI era looks like a'zoomed out' fractal of the electricity era. We have a better ability to observe the fractal nature of cultural evolution now, because technology shifts are happening in shorter time scales following the law of accelerating returns. And it is going to get even faster.
