    • Effective accelerationism, often abbreviated as "e/acc", is a 21st-century philosophical movement advocating an explicit pro-technology stance. Its proponents believe that artificial intelligence-driven progress is a great social equalizer which should be pushed forward. They see themselves as a counterweight to the cautious view that AI is highly unpredictable and needs to be regulated, often giving their opponents the derogatory labels of "doomers" or "decels" (short for deceleration).

      Central to effective accelerationism is the belief that propelling technological progress at any cost is the only ethically justifiable course of action.The movement carries utopian undertones and argues that humans need to develop and build faster to ensure their survival and propagate consciousness throughout the universe.

      Although effective accelerationism has been described as a fringe movement, it has gained mainstream visibility.[1] A number of high-profile Silicon Valley figures, including investors Marc Andreessen and Garry Tan, explicitly endorsed the movement by adding "e/acc" to their public social media profiles.[1] Yann LeCun and Andrew Ng are seenas further supporters, as they have argued for less restrictive AI regulation.
