# AI Acceleration **Entity class:** Technological trajectory **Domain:** Artificial intelligence / science / political economy **Maturity:** Developed ## Definition **AI Acceleration** is the compounding increase in machine capability, deployment speed, model availability, and the number of scientific or economic tasks that can be attempted in parallel. ## Mechanism and Consequence Acceleration changes governance because institutions must improve safety, infrastructure, and public adaptation while the underlying capability frontier continues moving. ## Relationships - [[wiki/Artificial Intelligence|Artificial Intelligence]] - [[wiki/Machine Succession|Machine Succession]] - [[wiki/AI Progress|AI Progress]] - [[wiki/Defensive Co-Scaling|Defensive Co-Scaling]] ## Source Dossiers - [[research/AI Is Now So Good They Will Pay You to Quit|AI Is Now So Good They Will Pay You to Quit]] - [[research/Super Intelligence Week Index of Statements from the White House Luncheon|Super Intelligence Week Index of Statements from the White House Luncheon]] - [[research/Jensen Pushes Back on Doomers Moonshots Live|Jensen Pushes Back on Doomers Moonshots Live]] ## Simple Reminders, Quotations, and Thoughts > "We are on the cusp of a moment I have been waiting for my entire life. I am not going to throw cold water on what may be the greatest moment in the history of humanity. We are moving forward at warp speed. [AI] is improving itself, and the ability to make the world dramatically better is right in front of us. Misuse is an incredible threat, and there are solutions to it, but this is happening anyway. Getting stuck on doomerism is completely dysfunctional. We are not slowing down." > **— Dave Blundin**, *MOONSHOTS Live, September 25, 2026* [[reminders/AI-Tech Doomers/Doomerism Cannot Stop the Greatest Technological Moment by Dave Blundin|Doomerism Cannot Stop the Greatest Technological Moment by Dave Blundin]] > "In the last twenty-two days, we have had twelve major model releases, including four releases in the last five days. We are averaging nearly one model release every two days." > **— Peter Diamandis**, *MOONSHOTS Live, September 25, 2026* [[reminders/Machine Succession/Major AI Models Are Arriving Every Two Days by Peter Diamandis|Major AI Models Are Arriving Every Two Days by Peter Diamandis]] > "Move at full speed, but also direct the labs to focus on alignment.

I am seriously concerned that a moral panic over superintelligence could set us back another fifty years." > **— Alexander Wissner-Gross**, *MOONSHOTS Live, September 25, 2026* [[reminders/AI-Tech Doomers/Superintelligence Panic Could Cost Another Fifty Years of Progress by Alexander Wissner-Gross|Superintelligence Panic Could Cost Another Fifty Years of Progress by Alexander Wissner-Gross]]
