A paper by Toby Ord explores the mathematical dynamics of intelligence explosions, a scenario where artificial intelligence rapidly accelerates its own development through recursive self-improvement. Ord argues that achieving a "singular growth" towards a vertical asymptote in AI capabilities is more complex than often modeled, particularly if the feedback loop or "generation time" does not rapidly approach zero. The paper highlights that while exponential growth is possible, faster-than-exponential but non-singular growth rates are also significant and often overlooked in discussions of AI progress. AI
