This is an audio overview of “The Last Human Century” by Dr Salim Sheikh published in 2025.


The book explores the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous systems on human society, examining AI's role in replacing traditional jobs, acting as personal assistants and caregivers, and enabling fully automated cities.


Dr Sheikh also addresses the economic implications of a non-human workforce, the emotional and psychological effects of AI integration, and the potential for ‘human-AI collaboration’.


The book encourages readers across different generations to consider how humanity can ‘reclaim its purpose’ and shape a new social contract in an AI-dominated world, offering reflections and actions to ensure AI serves humanity's best interests.
