Six turning points

The questions that change the shape of the future.

Each page defines exactly what we mean, what evidence we watch, and what would have to change for the tracker to move.

Accelerating

How fast does AI keep improving?

This turning point tracks whether frontier AI is running into meaningful bottlenecks or entering a period where capability growth — including AI-assisted AI research — accelerates.

Bounded delegation

How much real authority do we hand AI?

This is not a measure of how many people use AI. It tracks whether AI is moving from advice and drafting into consequential action with less transaction-by-transaction human approval.

Mixed

Does AI mostly augment people or replace labor?

This turning point asks where productivity gains are being captured: by making workers more productive, by reducing the amount of labor firms need, or by some mixture of the two.

Uneven adjustment

Can society adjust fast enough?

This tracks whether workers, organizations, schools, labor markets, and institutions can absorb AI-driven change fast enough to avoid a widening transition gap.

Concentrated

Do the gains spread or concentrate?

This tracks whether AI capability, ownership, profits, infrastructure, and decision power diffuse broadly or accumulate among a small number of firms and governments.

Mixed / brittle

Does human control keep pace?

This tracks the race between AI systems becoming more capable and autonomous and our ability to monitor, interrupt, constrain, and recover from their behavior.
