The 2045 Superintelligence Timeline — a16z Podcast: Data, Compute, and the Policy Clock
Update: 2025-11-24
Description
What if the next decade's AI surprises are written in data centers, dollars, and measurable compute? In this 4-minute summary (original 58 minutes), a16z hosts distill a conversation with guests David Owen, Yafah Edelman, and Marco Mascorro on where AI progress truly stands and what it means for jobs, science, and policy. You'll get the key evidence—revenue signals, GPU demand, satellite-mapped data centers—and the report's headline scenarios: non‑bubble monetization, plausible rapid job shocks (a 20–30% chance of a 5% unemployment spike within six months), limits of a software‑only singularity, and where math, biology, robotics, and agents are likely to move next. Learn why energy and grid constraints look surmountable today, why money and market demand matter most, and how fast government response could be once disruption is visible. Keywords: AI timeline, superintelligence, compute, data centers, policy, unemployment, robotics. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
