0:00.0	The stuff we're building now, it mediates 20% of waking life.
0:04.8	What we think we know about AI today doesn't necessarily hold for the future.
0:09.2	I think in this decade, for the first time ever, anyone who can think clearly, take action,
0:13.7	and communicate their ideas will get rich.
0:16.6	But also, we may lose more jobs than ever before.
0:19.5	Be replaced by robots and AI in ways we can't even fathom now and potentially leave an
0:23.7	entire generation behind.
0:25.1	I think it's a tale of two worlds.
0:27.2	So today I'm bringing you Brendan McCord, one of the sharpest minds in AI.

1:00.6	of order takers or sheep from artificial intelligence, it will kind of solidify this trend,
1:05.8	whereas this is our moment to reverse it. But we're almost like a little puppet on the strings
1:09.6	in some ways. Exactly.
1:11.3	Wow. That's so fascinating.
1:14.9	Hi, I'm Cody Sanchez and this is the Big Deal podcast. Today I'm bringing you Brendan McCord,
1:19.4	one of the sharpest minds in AI. Brendan's not just thinking about where AI is going. He's
