Culture of Change Ep. 164: AI - Golden Age or Global Imprisonment?

Ashe in America and Wednesday regular Brian Lupo tackle the AI conversation they have been promising for weeks, joined by Matt McDonagh for some genuine industry insight and a bit of referee duty. The big question on the table, is artificial intelligence steering us toward a golden age of abundance, or something closer to global imprisonment? Expect a lively back and forth on job displacement, from blue collar work to white collar middle management, the AGI to ASI progression, and whether ideas like UBI (and a certain someone's evolving feelings about it) are a real solution or a band aid. Matt brings a preview of his new show, Life in the Singularity, premiering that Thursday, and the trio picks apart corporate AI messaging from the likes of McKinsey along the way. It is part debate, part reality check, with humor woven through some genuinely big picture stakes about where this technology takes us next.
