Azeem Azhar

Azeem Azhar is a British-Bangladeshi entrepreneur, analyst and author who explores the intersection of technology, economics and society. He is the creator of Exponential View, a widely read and respected newsletter and podcast that examines how rapidly accelerating technologies are transforming business, politics and culture. He has been a journalist at the Guardian and the Economist, a technology entrepreneur, and an adviser to governments and corporations. His book Exponential explores the growing gap between the pace of technological change and society's ability to adapt, a concept he calls the "exponential gap." Drawing on years of research and interviews with leading thinkers, the book examines how artificial intelligence, renewable energy, biotechnology and other fast-moving technologies are reshaping the world faster than our institutions, laws and social norms can keep up. Available as both a book and an audiobook, Exponential offers essential listening and reading for anyone who wants to understand the forces driving the technological transformation of our world and what it means for business, society and everyday life.
