Are you keeping up with all the AI breakthroughs?
The acceleration is breathtaking, making this perhaps the most challenging time in human technological history.
It’s hard to believe that ChatGPT is just over 1 year old, and GPT-5 is around the corner.
Have you prioritized AI as the most important tech in your life yet?
Are you clear about AI’s impact on your family, your business and your industry?
For me, I study this stuff 24/7 and it is STILL extraordinarily difficult.
The problem with such significant disruption is that most people fear change and therefore they fear the future—instead of being excited by it.
Most fear what they don’t understand and can’t predict.
But fear is an AWFUL mindset from which to leverage future opportunities.
The solution to that fear is two-fold - knowledge and community:
Knowledge of the road ahead, and the concrete opportunities emerging in the next few years from AI. And access to the best tools, along with the knowledge and skills to use those tools.
Community is even more important. Finding and integrating with an Abundance-minded and Moonshot-minded community of entrepreneurs can help you to maintain a positive, future-forward mindset—the kind of mindset required to facilitate bold, world-changing ideas.
I’ve talked about the idea of “future-proofing” your business before, but now more than ever you also need to future-proof your mindset.
My mission is: “To catalyze optimism, to explain and reframe what is coming and how to understand it.”
That optimism creates clarity, which is the foundation of all aspirational goal setting.
As one Abundance Summit participant recently commented, “Peter, I join you in person every March to get my annual booster shot of unquenchable optimism for the coming year."
Your Community During this Era of Exponential Change
“Life is who you go through life with…”
In addition to gaining the right knowledge, curating your community is one of the most important investments you can make as an entrepreneur. For example, if you want to think big and change the world, hang out with people who have a Massive Transformative Purpose (MTP) and Moonshots.
The importance of community is one of the key reasons why I turned Abundance360 into a year-round program.
The Abundance360 community is an extraordinary group of 500 entrepreneurs, investors, and CEOs from around the world running companies ranging in value from $10 million to $10 billion.
It’s a community where you will find those who share your passion for Moonshots, for going big, creating wealth, and impacting the world.
These are people who could be your next co-founder, business partner, investor, supplier—or someone to simply enjoy a great conversation with.
In addition to the annual Summit every March, I personally host quarterly interactive Implementation Workshops and curate quarterly member-led Masterminds.
Our 2024 Abundance Summit Lineup
My annual Abundance Summit is not for everyone.
It’s for those individuals who really want to use exponential tech to uplift humanity and make a difference on this planet.
I have personally committed to running this program for 25 years (through 2038). This March (2024) is year 12 on this journey.
This year I’ve dedicated half of the program to discussing and understanding AI, its risks and rewards.
Here’s the lineup for the 2024 Summit:
Day 1 & Day 2: "The Great AI Debate"
I’m calling the first two days of the Summit “The Great AI Debate.”
Is AI friend or foe? Is AI the road to abundance? Or the end of humanity?
My goal during these first two days is to bring together the world's top leaders to have them predict what to expect over the next 12 to 24 months; and to debate the question, “Should we go faster or, should we slow down?”
And help you answer the question: “Are you an accelerationist (go fast!) or a doomer (slow down!)?”
Here are a few of the luminaries that will be participating in our conversations about AI:
Geoffrey Hinton, Godfather of Artificial Intelligence
Ray Kurzweil, Futurist at Google
Mo Gawdat, Bestselling Author; Co-Founder, Unstressable; Former CBO, Google X
Eric Schmidt, former Exec. Chairman, Alphabet
Do you believe AI will give us all god-like powers in the next 5 years, or overthrow humanity?
Whatever side of this debate you fall on, there is no question that we all need to invest the time to fully understand AI, how to use it, and how to guide it.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, CEO, or investor, NOW is the time to fully engage.
As I’ve said before… “There will be two kinds of companies at the end of this decade: those that are fully utilizing AI, and those that are out of business.”
So, how are you going to use AI? And more importantly, where is it going over the next three to five years?
Looking forward, we’ll hear from the next generation AI entrepreneurs including:
Ramin Hasani and Alexander Amini, Co-Founders of MIT’s Liquid.AI
Guillaume Verdon, Founder & CEO, Extropic; Formerly Quantum AI, Google
Emad Mostaque, Founder & CEO, Stability AI
Day 2 Continued: Exponentials & Moonshots
The afternoon of Day 2 is dedicated to hearing from entrepreneurs using exponential technologies to reinvent industries, taking Moonshots considered crazy just a few years ago. Here’s the lineup:
Michael Saylor, Exec. Chair, MicroStrategies on BitCoin & Lightening Rewards
Ramez Naam, Managing Partner, Planetary Venture Capital on Nuclear Fusion & Energy
Jason Ballard, Founder & CEO, ICON on 3D-Printed Homes
Cyrus Sigari, Founder & Managing Partner, UP Partners on Drones & eVTOLs
Adam Goldstein, Founder & CEO and Nikhil Goel, Chief Commercial Officer, Archer on Archer Aviation’s Midnight eVTOL
Josh Tetrick, Co-Founder & CEO, Eat Just, Inc. on Cultivated Meats
We’ll continue with a group of incredible “Exponential Entrepreneurs” pursuing their Moonshots and exploring the boundaries of what’s possible:
Kiko Dontchev, VP, SpaceX on Private Spaceflight
Anousheh Ansari, CEO, XPRIZE on Solving Humanity’s Grand Challenges
Dean Kamen, Executive Director & Chairman of the Board, ARMI; Founder, FIRST on Advanced Organ Manufacturing
Then we’ll explore “Zero to your first billion,” hearing from three amazing Exponential Entrepreneurs about their journeys to build world-changing companies:
Austin Russell, Founder & CEO, Luminar
Marc Lore, Founder & CEO, Wonder; Founder, Jet.com
Daniella Pierson, Founder & CEO, Newsette Media Group
Day 3: Longevity
On Day 3 of the Summit we’ll dive into the extraordinary world of scientists and companies focused on longevity and extending the human healthspan.
You’ll learn from pioneers in Healthcare and Medicine, focused on making “100 Years Old the New 60”:
Daniel Kraft, MD, Founder, NextMed Health on The Exponential Medicine Revolution
Andrew Hessel, Chairman, Genome Project-Write on Rewriting Your Genome
Michael Levin, PhD, Tufts University and Jess Mah, Astonishing Labs on Regrowing Limbs & Organs
Sumner Norman, PhD, Forest Neurotech/CalTech and Jordan Amadio, MD, Neurosurgeon/Neuralink on Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs)
Nina Tandon, PhD, CEO, EpiBone on Regrowing Your Joints
Mehmood Khan, MD, CEO Hevolution Foundation on Funding the Healthspan Revolution
