Listen Later

In this episode, we take a deep dive into a fascinating study from Epoch AI, The Economic Consequences of Automating Remote Work. What happens when AI isn't just assisting us but potentially replacing entire remote workflows? Spoiler: the possibilities are both thrilling and unsettling.

We break down the key insights:

  • How much of your work could be done remotely by AI?
  • The surprising lessons from the pandemic on remote work substitutability.
  • Mind-bending GDP predictions ranging from a 2x increase to a potential 10x explosion.

    • But it’s not just about the economics. We tackle the profound social questions:

    • Will AI create mass unemployment or usher in new opportunities?
    • Could Universal Basic Income (UBI) be the solution for a world where AI does the heavy lifting?
    • How do we ensure that the wealth created by AI benefits everyone, not just a select few?

      • Join us as we explore the industries most likely to be transformed, the collaboration between humans and AI, and the ethical challenges of deploying these powerful tools responsibly.

      This is more than a conversation about technology—it's a conversation about the kind of future we want to build. Share your thoughts in the comments and let’s navigate this uncharted territory together.
