Over the past year, the talk of the town has shifted from $10 billion compute clusters to $100 billion clusters to trillion-dollar clusters. Every six months another zero is added to the boardroom plans. Behind the scenes, there’s a fierce scramble to secure every power contract still available for the rest of the decade, every voltage transformer that can possibly be procured. American big business is gearing up to pour trillions of dollars into a long-unseen mobilization of American industrial might. By the end of the decade, American electricity production will have grown tens of percent; from the shale fields of Pennsylvania to the solar farms of Nevada, hundreds of millions of GPUs will hum.
The AGI race has begun. We are building machines that can think and reason. By 2025/26, these machines will outpace college graduates. By the end of the decade, they will be smarter than you or I; we will have superintelligence, in the true sense of the word. Along the way, national security forces not seen in half a century will be un-leashed, and before long, The Project will be on. If we’re lucky, we’ll be in an all-out race with the CCP; if we’re unlucky, an all-out war.
Everyone is now talking about AI, but few have the faintest glimmer of what is about to hit them. Nvidia analysts still think 2024 might be close to the peak. Mainstream pundits are stuck on the wilful blindness of “it’s just predicting the next word”. They see only hype and business-as-usual; at most they entertain another internet-scale technological change.
Before long, the world will wake up. But right now, there are perhaps a few hundred people, most of them in San Francisco and the AI labs, that have situational awareness. Through whatever peculiar forces of fate, I have found myself amongst them. A few years ago, these people were derided as crazy—but they trusted the trendlines, which allowed them to correctly predict the AI advances of the past few years. Whether these people are also right about the next few years remains to be seen. But these are very smart people—the smartest people I have ever met—and they are the ones building this technology. Perhaps they will be an odd footnote in history, or perhaps they will go down in history like Szilard and Oppenheimer and Teller. If they are seeing the future even close to correctly, we are in for a wild ride.
Let me tell you what we see.
State of Artificial intelligence Report 2023kuntobimo2016
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a multidisciplinary field of science and engineering whose goal is to create intelligent machines.
We believe that AI will be a force multiplier on technological progress in our increasingly digital, data-driven world. This is because everything around us today, ranging from culture to consumer products, is a product of intelligence.
The State of AI Report is now in its sixth year. Consider this report as a compilation of the most interesting things we’ve seen with a goal of triggering an informed conversation about the state of AI and its implication for the future.
We consider the following key dimensions in our report:
Research: Technology breakthroughs and their capabilities.
Industry: Areas of commercial application for AI and its business impact.
Politics: Regulation of AI, its economic implications and the evolving geopolitics of AI.
Safety: Identifying and mitigating catastrophic risks that highly-capable future AI systems could pose to us.
Predictions: What we believe will happen in the next 12 months and a 2022 performance review to keep us honest.

3. HISTORY
History of the United Arab Emirates. ... The UAE consists of seven
emirates and was founded on 2 December 1971 as a federation. Six of
the seven emirates (Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain
and Fujairah) combined on that date. The seventh, Ras Al Khaimah,
joined the federation on 10 February 1972.
Before oil was discovered in the 1950s the UAE's economy was
dependent on fishing and a declining pearl industry. But since 1962,
when Abu Dhabi became the first of the emirates to begin exporting oil,
the country's society and economy have been transformed.
The United Arab Emirates, in the eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula,
extends along part of the Gulf of Oman and the southern coast of the
Persian Gulf. The nation is the size of Maine. Its neighbors are Saudi
Arabia to the west and south,Qatar to the north, and Oman to the east.
4. RELIGION
Although Islam is the official religion of the country, the United Arab
Emirates have always advocated freedom of religion. Today, about 80%
of the local population is Muslim, and 100% of the locals are. There are
about 8% Hindu, 5% Christians, and some Buddhist and Sikh minorities.
Islam is the official religion of the UAE, and is widely practised.
The Islamic holy day is Friday and there are five pillars of Islam, which
all Muslims must follow: the Profession of Faith, Prayer, Charity, Fasting,
and the Pilgrimage to Makkah.
Islam is the official religion of the UAE and the majority of UAE nationals
areMuslim. However, the government is a lot more liberal in this respect
than some of its neighbours; the right to freedom of religion is
respected, and there is very little interference in the practice of other
religions in Dubai.
5. POLITICS
Politics of the United Arab Emirates takes place in a framework of a
federal, presidential, absolute monarchy. The Unite Arab Emirates (UAE)
is a federation of seven constituent monarchies: the Emirates of Abu
Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm al-
Quwain.
The UAE's judicial system is derived from the civil law system and Sharia
law. The court system consists of civil courts and Sharia courts.
Administratively, the UAE is a federation of seven emirates, each with its
own ruler. Under the provisional constitution of 1971, each emirate
reserves considerable powers, including control over mineral rights
(notably oil) and revenues. In this milieu, federal powers have
developed slowly as each Emirate already had its own existing
institutions of government prior to the country’s official foundation.

7. ECONOMY
The economy of the United Arab Emirates is the second largest in the
Arab world (after Saudi Arabia), with a gross domestic product (GDP) of
$570 billion (AED2.1 trillion) in 2014. The United Arab Emirates has been
successfully diversifying its economy.
More than 85% of the UAE's economy was based on the oil exports in
2009. While Abu Dhabi and other UAE emirates have remained
relatively conservative in their approach to diversification, Dubai, which
has far smaller oil reserves, was bolder in its diversification policy.[13] In
2011, oil exports accounted for 77% of the UAE's state budget.
Dubai suffered from a significant economic crisis in 2007-2010 and was
bailed out by Abu Dhabi's oil wealth.
8. POPULATION
DUBAI — A total of 202 different nationalities exist in the labour market,
according to the Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Labour, Dr Khalid Al
Khazraji. The country has one of the highest rates in the world so far as
the diversity of foreign nationalities is concerned, said Dr Al Khazraji.
