  Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a distant concept confined to science fiction; it is rapidly shaping our present and redefining our future. But what happens when AI progresses at a rate beyond human comprehension? "Revolution 2.0: When AI Evolves Faster Than Humans" is a thought-provoking exploration into this unfolding technological revolution. 
  This book takes readers on a journey through AI's rapid acceleration—from its origins and breakthroughs to the present state and what the future holds. As AI systems become more autonomous, intelligent, and capable of self-learning, we must confront profound questions: Will AI surpass human intelligence? What risks and opportunities will emerge? How will society, ethics, and the economy be reshaped by this revolution? 
  With a blend of historical context, expert insights, and future projections, "Revolution 2.0" examines both the promises and perils of AI's unchecked growth.

  As we stand at the crossroads of human and artificial intelligence, this book urges us to reflect on our role in shaping AI's trajectory. Will we harness its power for the greater good, or will we struggle to control the very entities we have created? 
  The future is arriving faster than we think—are we ready for the revolution?
