I'm the Founder & CEO of Nexomeric, building AI systems to accelerate scientific discovery and technological progress. I believe human progress accelerates over time. We moved from shaping stone to controlling fire, from cultivating land to building industrial systems, from harnessing electricity to creating computers, and now from computation to intelligence itself. Each breakthrough expands what we can build next, making the following leap arrive faster than the last. I believe AI will accelerate this process beyond anything we have seen so far, because better tools build even better tools. What if AI goes beyond being a tool and becomes an intelligent system that can continuously learn and adapt, evolve its own capabilities, develop forms of self-directed curiosity and internal objectives, and flexibly perform any intellectual task humans can?
