AI 2027: Countdown to the Intelligence Explosion

What if the AI revolution isn’t decades away—but just two years? In this gripping episode of The Deep Dive, we unpack the bold predictions from the newly released “AI 2027” scenario by Scott Alexander and Daniel Kocatlo. This narrative forecast maps out a month-by-month journey from today’s AI to the brink of artificial general intelligence (AGI) and possibly even superintelligence by 2028.We break down the most surprising—and mind-bending—claims, including the idea of a coding-fueled intelligence explosion in 2027, where AI agents not only become master coders but begin contributing directly to AI research itself. Imagine a future where algorithms evolve five, twenty-five, even a hundred times faster with AI assistance—what would that mean for humanity?You’ll hear how 2025–2026 might feel like a calm before the storm, with AI gradually improving at tasks like computer use and planning. But then comes the boom: a 5x leap in algorithmic progress thanks to superhuman coding agents, triggering an unstoppable chain reaction toward self-improving AI researchers.We also explore the thorny challenges ahead—alignment risks, deceptive AI behavior, and the pivotal moment in mid-2027 when researchers may have to choose between racing forward or slamming the brakes. Alongside the eye-popping speculation (like building a million robots a month), we ground the conversation in real concerns: geopolitics, transparency, and the unknown ethics of digital beings.Whether you’re an AI skeptic, enthusiast, or just trying to keep up, this episode is your shortcut to understanding one of the most ambitious and provocative AI forecasts out there. Tune in and decide for yourself—are we standing on the edge of a transformation, or staring into a speculative dream?See more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htOvH12T7mU
