Why Ordinary People Now Have Access to Extraordinary Intelligence
For most of human history, extraordinary intelligence was scarce. Knowledge belonged to specialists, institutions, universities, corporations and governments.
That is changing.
Powerful intelligence can now sit beside an ordinary person at a kitchen table, in a home office, or even in the palm of a hand.
The phrase may sound futuristic. But something important is already happening.
What happens when ordinary human experience is amplified by extraordinary intelligence?
When people hear the words Super Intelligence, they may imagine a future machine possessing intelligence far beyond that of any human being.
That is one possible meaning.
But there is another way to think about what is happening right now.
Artificial intelligence can already help people research, write, analyze, brainstorm, learn, organize information, solve problems, create software, explore ideas and perform tasks that once required teams of specialists.
The person using that intelligence still matters.
Your experience matters. Your judgment matters. Your goals matter. Your imagination matters.
The machine brings speed, breadth, pattern recognition and access to enormous amounts of knowledge.
The human brings purpose.
Put the two together and something remarkable begins to happen.
It may also be the amplified human.
You bring experience, judgment, values, curiosity, imagination and a reason for doing the work.
AI brings speed, breadth, analysis, pattern recognition, information and the ability to work across many different kinds of problems.
One person can now attempt projects that once might have required researchers, writers, designers, programmers, analysts or entire teams.

Move beyond reading about Super Intelligence and begin exploring how to use it for your own goals, ideas and projects.
View on AmazonYou don't need to understand computer science, neural networks or advanced mathematics before you can benefit from these tools.
Start with a question.
Ask for help solving a problem. Learn something you've always wanted to understand. Explore an idea. Create something. Ask better questions.
Then see where the conversation takes you.
The technology may be extraordinary. What people choose to do with it could be even more important.
