Next Wave of AI
Intelligence, Autonomy, and the Future of Technology
Next Wave of AI is a manifesto for the coming decade of artificial intelligence. It argues that AI is evolving from a powerful tool into a deeply integrated partner in every aspect of society — and that this shift will amplify human creativity instead of replacing it.
