Is AI Coming For Your Job? | Zack Kass
AJ and Johnny sit down with Zack Kass, AI futurist and author of The Next Renaissance: AI and the Expansion of Human Potential, to explore how artificial intelligence will reshape identity, purpose, and meaning.
Zack breaks down why our fear of AI isn’t really about machines; it’s about identity displacement. They dive deep into how creativity, purpose, and work evolve when technology becomes capable of doing almost everything. From artists confronting AI-generated art to professionals watching automation change their industries, Zack explains why humanity’s next great challenge isn’t survival, it’s spiritual.
This episode unpacks how to navigate the coming era with optimism, connection, and mastery — and why the most valuable skill of the future is still deeply, unapologetically human.
