Summary

AI used to be, what most people thought, was the biggest threat to our economic security. Now it’s coronavirus. BUT one of the side effects of coronavirus is an acceleration of our future. Meaning that what used to seem like a “potential” truth (like robots stocking shelves, factories being automated, remote work, and so on) is all here faster than we had thought. So I brought on Kevin Surace to talk about these previous “future” predictions and show how they’re happening now. AND we talk about what else we can foresee in a post coronavirus world. Kevin’s been on the podcast before. He’s an expert in A.I. He’s built and sold AI companies and runs one right now. And he wrote this excellent article, “Our Post-COVID World ,” which you can read here https://medium.com/@kevinsurace/our-post-covid-world-ec3a30dc30b9 I write about all my podcasts! Check out the full post and learn what I learned at jamesaltucher.com/podcast. Thanks so much for listening!
