Yes, I believe they refer to it 'Exponential development'. It is one of the things that they AI hopefuls claim that advanced AI wil eventually gain that surpasses out own capabilities. My 'exponential learning' abilities seem to have a smaller 'exponent' each year.

While we learn on a linear basis, one after one. The new developed things in our field of interest (electronics, computer, software) increase exponential. Means: You learn 2 things while 4 are newly created, you learn 3 things while 9 are newly created. This way we will never catch up but fall more and more behind.
