THE INTELLIGENCE INFLECTION

We are building minds we cannot read, deploying them faster than we can govern, and betting civilization on the outcome.

In The Intelligence Inflection, software architect Tony Fleming cuts through the hype and the panic to deliver a clear-eyed account of where artificial intelligence actually stands - and where it's taking us. Drawing on more than two decades in technology and years of hands-on work with frontier AI systems, Fleming traces the path from Turing's first questions to today's reasoning models, agentic systems, and the trillion-dollar race to build artificial general intelligence.

This is not a book about a distant future. It is about decisions being made right now - in corporate boardrooms, government chambers, and research labs - that will shape the trajectory of human civilization for decades. From AI-driven drug discovery and post-scarcity economics to autonomous weapons, deepfake-driven reality collapse, and the alignment problem at the heart of it all, Fleming maps both the extraordinary promise and the existential cost with equal rigor.

The Intelligence Age has begun. Its destination is still in our hands. For now.
