Listen Later

MOST OF US ARE THE MIDDLE TODAY….BUT WHAT ABOUT TOMORROW?

  • I’d like to give you free intelligence. Later it might cost something, but it’ll be available
  • If you choose not to engage with it, your job prospects might be limited in the future
  • There ain’t gonna be any middle anymore - how does that relate to AI?
  • “Hollowing out the middle”
  • We can’t force people to use AI, but it’s going to be in the tools you use daily
  • You probably have a choice now
  • AI won’t have binary impacts on everyone (good/bad), but it’ll have impacts
  • I understand that we don’t understand everyone else’s context, but we do have historical context
