Okay, folks, so welcome to part two. I mean, goodness me, I just don't want to stop.

So Patrick, as I said at the end of that last session, I read Mustafa Silliman's The Coming Away for AI Power

and our future and it is, it just looks, you know, scary and things are moving so fast.

And a generation might, a new generation, well, we used to be what, 10, 15 years now.

It was it, is it a year? How fast are things changing? You've written how AI will change

your life.

You know, just teach us, go for it.

Okay, well, it was a fun and terrifying book to do, but it was both.

Okay.

And so how I tried to approach it was to make multiple chapters, large numbers of chapters,

24 chapters addressing different things from, you know, impact of AI on the workplace,

on, say, marketing, management, leadership, political life, cyber security, banking, you know, retail,

manufacturing. So you can turn to whatever section of

society you might be interested in and you could see how AI is likely to impact that.

What I found was as I started to write, the early chapters were the most upbeat and the

later chapters were the darkest. So the introduction was all about how AI

will change from what it is now to becoming fully conscious, autonomous, emotionally, self-aware,

and indeed perhaps spiritual. Yes. But then in the meantime, okay, then coming back to reality,

okay, but what about the next five years in, let's say, manufacturing or in politics or something

like that? And so then there are all these different chapters. And when you look at the first

chapter, because I'm a doctor, of course I went for health, you know, health, such an amazing thing when you have it, it's such an awful thing when

it goes wrong.
