Discover how the tech world is grappling with the latest AI regulations from Europe as Sani Abdul-Jabbar CEO of VezTek joins the Tech Travels Podcast. We dive into Europe's latest AI regulations, the synergy of AI and blockchain in energy trading, and the digital era's impact on education and the workforce. Sani brings insights from his book 'Makers: A Slender Knowledge,' offering a nuanced view on AI's global impact, ethical innovation, and the transformative potential of blockchain. Join us as we explore how these technologies are reshaping learning, work, and the tech landscape. Venture with us into a hybrid realm where AI meets blockchain, and the future of energy trading is rewritten. I explore the hesitation within the business community to combine these powerful technologies, despite the clear strategic advantages. Sani and I scrutinize the dichotomy between recognizing AI's potential and the hesitancy to invest in it, discussing the hurdles that both emerging and established companies must overcome to stay competitive in a tech-driven market. We round off our conversation with a leap into the digital era's impact on education and the workforce, where Sani shares his vast experiences from his global travels. We ponder the metaverse's growing influence on our daily lives, the emergent tech trends poised to transform industries, and the evolving skills required to thrive alongside AI. Tune in to envisage a future where artificial intelligence is not a specter of job loss but a beacon of entrepreneurial opportunity, reshaping the way we learn, work, and create.
