## Resource

EPISODE DESCRIPTION Young people can use AI to build businesses, solve hard problems, and create things previous generations could not imagine. They can also spend the next decade consuming algorithmic sludge. That choice may decide whether the United States keeps its technological lead. This conversation is for educators, parents, students, and workforce leaders who know AI will change work but are tired of predictions that stop at fear. Purdue computer science student Nishad Patel joins Jason with a perspective shaped by growing up in Abu Dhabi and studying in Indiana. The problem is visible: too many students experience technology primarily as entertainment while other countries treat it as a building tool. Nishad and Jason examine jobs, trust, robotics, quantum computing, and the different signals young people receive in the United States and the UAE. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why knowledge work may change before skilled physical work. Why trust slows adoption. How the UAE connects education, infrastructure, and national ambition. What schools can do now to help students create with AI. THE TAKEAWAY The countries and schools that teach young people to build with AI will have more influence over what comes next. YOUR NEXT MOVE Ask one student what they have built with AI in the last month. If the answer is nothing, help them choose one real problem worth solving and begin there. ABOUT THE GUEST Nishad Patel is a Purdue University computer science student from Abu Dhabi and a 2026 information technology intern at Cummins. Through TechPoint's Xtern program, he has worked alongside Indiana's emerging technology community while exploring AI, software engineering, automation, and the future of technical work.
