Comparison Engine
Paradigm capability matrix
Compare substrates by energy efficiency, compute density, scalability, hardware maturity, AGI potential, safety, and economics.
Strategic Leaders
1. Neuromorphic AI
60Neuromorphic AI is strongest where continuous adaptation and sparse real-time sensing matter more than dense batch inference.
2. Recursive Self-Improving AI
91Recursive self-improvement is less a substrate than a dangerous and powerful control loop over capability growth.
3. Analog Computing AI
60Analog AI can win when approximate computation is acceptable and data movement dominates energy.
4. Hybrid Intelligence Systems
89Hybrid intelligence is the likely practical path: use each paradigm where its physics and economics are strongest.
5. Maths AI
86Maths AI treats intelligence as an evolving mathematical ecosystem rather than a static chatbot: recursive interaction plus proof, code, simulation, compression, and selection pressure.
