In this episode of I’ve Got Questions, I sit down with futurist, author, and strategic foresight professor Alexander Manu to explore how AI is reshaping the meaning of work, creativity, and identity.

He explains how technology has always been a bridge to new forms of human expression, and how AI may usher in the most creative, personalized era of human history.

Manu argues that we need to transcend the idea that our identity is tied to our jobs because

AI is not just another tool that will change the workforce, but it’s also a mirror forcing us to ask, “What else can I become?”

0:00 – Introduction

In this episode of I’ve Got Questions, I sit down with leading AI scholar Kate Crawford, professor at USC, and author of award-winning Atlas of AI to examine the environmental, social, and ethical costs of artificial intelligence.

In this episode of I’ve Got Questions, I sit down with Andrew Hessel, microbiologist, geneticist, author and pioneering voice in synthetic biology, a field that is redefining how we understand and engineer life itself.

We explore what happens when biology becomes programmable and every cell, virus, and even our own DNA can be edited, rewritten, and redesigned.

Andrew explains how breakthroughs in digital biology could make infertility a thing of the past, why diseases like cancer and diabetes could soon be treated at the cellular level, and how a new era of genetic surgery could let us reprogram our bodies before illness ever begins.

We also unpack the ethical, emotional, and philosophical questions of what it means to live in a world where we can literally reprogram life.

In this episode of I’ve Got Questions, I sit down with leading AI economist, professor and author Ajay Agrawal to unpack whether AI is truly overhyped or if we’re fundamentally underestimating its long-term impact on the economy.

In this episode of I’ve Got Questions, I sit down with Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman to explore why AI consciousness will become the biggest debate of our generation the future of AI companions, the risks of AI “psychosis,” and how streaming intelligence will transform healthcare, work, and society.
