The Second Half of the Chessboard: The Exponential Convergence of Technology

Attending Abundance 360 this week has been a transformative experience. One of the most thought-provoking sessions was “The Second Half of the Chessboard” by Cathie Wood, CEO & CIO of ARK Investment Management. Since founding ARK in 2014, Cathie has been at the forefront of investing in disruptive innovations across genomics, robotics, AI, energy, and blockchain.

The Second Half of the Chessboard is a concept that perfectly encapsulates where we stand today in the technological revolution.

We are entering an era where converging exponential technologies—AI, robotics, blockchain, biotech, quantum computing, and more—are not just progressing in isolation but amplifying each other’s impact. The result? A macroeconomic shift at an unprecedented scale.

This is the inflection point—the moment when technological advancements cease to be linear and begin doubling at a pace that reshapes industries, economies, and societies.

For businesses, leaders, and innovators, the key question is:

➡️ Are you ready to harness these exponential forces, or will you be disrupted by them?

I’m excited to continue these conversations at hashtag#A360, exchanging ideas with some of the brightest minds in the world, and translating these insights into actionable strategies across my ventures in AI, EV, robotics, and exponential consulting.

The future is being built now—one exponential leap at a time!
