Amodei's "compressed 21st century" — 100 years of progress in 5–10 years

About This Simulator

In "Machines of Loving Grace," Dario Amodei argues that powerful AI could compress a century's worth of scientific progress into just 5–10 years. He calls this a "compressed 21st century" in biology and health. The core idea: AI doesn't just speed up individual experiments — it accelerates the entire research pipeline, from hypothesis generation through clinical trials. Select a field, set your acceleration assumptions, and watch the timelines diverge.
