The Next Ten Years of AI Will Blindside Almost Everyone (Don't Be One of Them)

00:00:00:03 - 00:00:06:02

There's a version of the next ten years where you wake up one morning, and the world you grew up in is no longer

00:00:06:04 - 00:00:18:22

The career you train for got automated by a model nobody had heard of six months earlier. The assumptions your parents handed down about how to make a living stopped applying about a year ago, and nobody bothered to tell

00:00:19:02 - 00:00:23:18

That is the actual trajectory of artificial intelligence right now,

00:00:23:18 - 00:00:26:23

Most of the country is still treating AI as optional.

00:00:26:23 - 00:00:28:00

Then there's a smaller

00:00:28:05 - 00:00:30:02

who truly understands what AI

00:00:30:04 - 00:00:35:13

a small country of geniuses ready to target the problem or process. You point them

00:00:35:15 - 00:00:39:09

the question is, what would you do with a small country of geniuses?

00:00:39:09 - 00:00:42:03

I'm Alex Smith and this is super confident AI.

00:00:42:04 - 00:00:46:16

Each week, I'll walk you through what is actually happening at the frontier of this technology.

00:00:46:18 - 00:00:50:20

Futurists who think we're walking into the most prosperous century in human history.

00:00:50:20 - 00:00:51:19

Researchers

00:00:51:19 - 00:00:56:17

losing sleep over what they're building and operators making fortunes deploying

00:00:56:19 - 00:01:03:07

People who have concluded we are accelerating ourselves into obsolescence and are already planning their lives accordingly.

00:01:03:07 - 00:01:07:11

The truth of where this is all headed. Live somewhere across those voices,

00:01:07:11 - 00:01:11:19

and the only way I know to find it is to put them all on the same show.

00:01:11:19 - 00:01:14:05

I run one of the fastest growing AI companies in the

00:01:14:07 - 00:01:17:22

My instant AI sells prepaid access cards in retail stores

00:01:17:22 - 00:01:19:22

across more than 150 countries,

00:01:19:22 - 00:01:23:19

To my knowledge, nobody else is deploying AI at that kind of physical

00:01:23:19 - 00:01:27:06

retail global scale, which has put me in a rare position.

00:01:27:07 - 00:01:32:17

Most weeks, I'm on the phone with researchers from Frontier Labs founders building on top of him,

00:01:32:19 - 00:01:38:14

the infrastructure operators keeping the whole thing running, and the policy people trying to write the rules around

00:01:38:19 - 00:01:44:04

The conversations I get to have are not happening in public and they're not happening on most podcasts.

00:01:44:06 - 00:01:49:04

What's said in them is almost nothing like the version of AI. You're being sold in the headlines.

00:01:49:04 - 00:01:50:06

I think you should hear

00:01:50:09 - 00:01:53:09

if you want to understand what's coming before it gets here.

00:01:53:09 - 00:01:54:23

This is the show.

00:01:54:23 - 00:01:58:07

So subscribe to super confident AI.
