Medical applications are obvious, but imagine AI that can teach you university-level degrees without any error, or climate models that account for every variable in Earth's ecosystem."
He paused, letting that sink in globally.
"We're not just processing information faster, James. We're approaching the technological singularity—the point where artificial intelligence exceeds human capability in every meaningful way."
