1,000 Days Until AI Takes Over with Daniel Priestley - PMQ046

Daniel Priestley is a serial entrepreneur, author, and business strategist, known for helping startups and scale-ups navigate the digital economy and adapt to the rapidly changing world of AI and technology. In this episode we discuss AI, the death of the industrial age, the rise of digital business, and the future of entrepreneurship. We also discuss how AI will reshape industries, whether governments can keep up, and if we’re heading into a new era of digital feudalism where a few will own everything. Priestley argues that those who fail to adapt to AI will be left behind. Will technology liberate us or enslave us?
