| description | This study proposes a new concept that explains a source of technological change: The invasive behaviour of general purpose technologies that breaks into scientific and technological ecosystems with accelerated diffusion of new products and processes that destroy the usage value of all units previously used. This study highlights the dynamics of the invasive destruction of new path-breaking technologies in driving innovative activity. Invasive technologies conquer the scientific, technological, and business spaces of alternative technologies by introducing manifold radical innovations that support technological, economic, and social change. The proposed theoretical framework is verified empirically in new technologies of neural network architectures, comparing transformer technology (a deep learning architecture having unsupervised and semi-supervised algorithms that create new contents and mimic human ability, supporting Generative Artificial Intelligence) to Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs). Statistical evidence here, based on patent analyses, reveals that the exponential growth rate of transformer technology over a period of five years (2020–2024) is 45.91% more than double compared to the alternative technologies of LSTM (21.17%) and RNN (18.15%). Moreover, the proposed invasive rate in technological space shows that is very high for transformer technology at the level of 2.2%, whereas for LSTM it is 1.39% and for RNN it is 1.22% over 2020–2024, respectively. Invasive behaviour of drastic technologies is a new approach that can explain one of the major causes of global technological change and this scientific examination here significantly contributes to our understanding of the current dynamics in technological evolution of the Artificial Intelligence technology having high industrial impacts on the progress of human society. |
