The Power of Compounding Knowledge

We are privileged to live in an era of extraordinary progress. Although modern humans have existed for around 300,000 years, most advancements in life expectancy, education, and living standards have occurred in just the last 300, around 0.1% of our time as a species. Progress has been driven by our ability to record, share, utilise, and build upon knowledge. Today, artificial intelligence (AI) is adding a new layer of capability, with the potential to supercharge innovation and productivity and unlock even greater potential across the global economy.
