I regularly contribute to transformative projects and conversations as a keynote speaker, strategic advisor, board member, and executive consultant. If you’re working on bold initiatives at the edge of technological change (AI, Web3, governance, digital identity, longevity, space, exponential innovation), I’d love to hear from you. Whether you're organizing a conference, launching a startup, or exploring frontier challenges, here’s how to book a conversation with my agent Jay, who helps evaluate the best-fit opportunities, and to explore how I can support your mission. https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/bookings/jay-kemp

Is it possible to build a bridge in a single day with a million workers? Can a lemon produce a thousand liters of juice if squeezed for long enough? These "disanalogies" show how surprising AI's scalability laws are. youtu.be/9ZEn4HvOsGM

At CES 2025, Jensen Huang has illustrated how three scaling laws are driving AI’s exponential growth, ensuring it avoids plateaus and accelerates toward ever-shorter doubling rates. For me this is his most important message, not just the product announcements.

Thinking back, so many things happened during the year, but here are my most valuable highlights: we welcomed my second grandchild, Cristopher, from my oldest son Jacopo; my middle son Cosimo moved from Montreal to Sydney joining ILM; and my daughter Jordy got married in Seoul to Jungho. Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful season and a fantastic year 2025 ahead!

When Fei-Fei Li built ImageNet with limited resources, she catalyzed an entire AI revolution. High quality data was necessary to start the innovation process, and she put in the effort. In a horse-drawn carriage you have time to correct course. But in a rocket you need millisecond-precise data. That's the AI landscape where our rate of acceleration itself is increasing. I call this the Paradigm of Jolting Technologies, and is the reason why high quality data is crucial today. As autonomous systems multiply beyond the limit of merely 8 billion humans, we'll see an explosion of new data sources. This is going to provide an open-ended, positive-sum economic opportunity for unbounded innovation.
