All computing is going to expand and contract. You will see years where not much is happening and most of the needs of individuals and businesses are taken care of with current generation software and hardware. There will be times that new tech will come out and then flop, new vaporware, new failed businesses and tech. There will be times where everything changes and changes how and what we do in business and as people.
AI will still grow and flower into many different areas of specialty and study. We have figured out some complicated problems that can be solved with LLMs and you will see it dominate niches but fail in others. We need to think of LLMs like a glass of water and not a freight train. The water fills the glass but does not change the glass. The water takes the shape of the glass. The water can be poured into other glasses and then back into the same glass it started in. The freight train picks up a load, accelerates slowly and then hits a speed, the direction is pre-defined as tracks, it reaches the other side, slows down, drops off the load. Computing from this point forward is not an A ---> B ---> C growth pathway. Look at linux and its forks, FOSS project forks, that is what computing and AI (does and) will continue to look like.

It will probably plateau at some point, but right now AI is still in the rapidly growing stage. There is so much more that AI can do, and as time goes on it will probably continue to advance (whether you think it is a good or bad thing is up to you).

I can't see why or how it should stop growing, unless there was a collapse in energy production that would put a stop to it. Following the trajectory we see it will more likely grow exponentially.
The big challenge we all face to align the growth of AI with our interests as humans. If we ever reach AGI (artificial general intelligence), that is AI that is better than any human not only in a specific domain, but generally, then there is the potential that it develops itself further (not only AI, but other domains in engineering etc.) beyond a point that we can even follow or understand. We need to built in solid guardrails into AI that ensures it would not act against human interests. One analogy I like is that of a mother (the more intelligent being) that is bound by her instincts to never harm her child (the less intelligent being) - we need a similar mechanism like that to align the AI with our own long term interests.

Moore's Law suggests that technology keeps getting better and more powerful over time. While we can't be sure exactly how it will change, it's exciting to see how it continues to grow. Just like refrigerators once transformed how we live by making food storage easy, technology keeps improving our lives. Refrigerators became a common household item, and now they're a part of our everyday lives without us even noticing. Similarly, technology will keep advancing, bringing new wonders that make our lives easier.

AI is not going to stop growing. Technology keeps improving because people always find new ways to use it.
Think of it like smartphones—they started simple, but every year they get faster and do more things. AI is similar: it will keep learning and becoming more powerful, but humans will still guide how it’s used.
👉 Example:
Today AI can help doctors read X-rays faster.
In the future, it might help design new medicines too.
So, AI’s growth is ongoing—it’s more about how we choose to use it responsibly.

Not right away, but there's a lot to be excited about.
Throughout history, big innovations like the printing press, electricity, the internet, and smartphones have changed how we live and work. AI is starting to feel like one of those big game-changers.
However, sometimes people think new technologies will change everything faster than they actually do. While AI will keep improving, it's hard to say exactly how fast or how much it will impact us.
I believe we're just beginning to see what AI can do and how it will fit into our lives. The technology will keep growing, but people will be key in deciding how to use it and solve problems with it.
One thing I'm sure of is that learning to work with new technologies will be a valuable skill for the future.

AI is set to keep growing, with technology, data, and innovation getting better all the time. Since 2022, we've seen AI grow really fast, which can seem overwhelming. But remember, AI usually develops in stages—sometimes quickly, and other times more slowly as we improve and apply what we've learned. It's also key to know that AI needs our guidance. We are the ones who will make decisions and ensure it's used wisely. The future of AI depends not just on its power, but on how we choose to use and manage it effectively.
