Summary

What happens when you let AI run your life—your work, your parenting, even your health? NBC News chief tech analyst Joanna Stern did exactly that for a year, and she’s here with big ideas from I Am Not a Robot: My Year Using AI to Do (Almost) Everything about how to use these tools without letting them use you. Then we widen the lens: Steven Kotler and Peter H. Diamandis argue that we’re entering an age of godlike technological power—and that the real challenge is keeping wisdom, discernment, and cooperation in the driver’s seat—in We Are as Gods: A Survival Guide for the Age of Abundance. 🎁 Save 20% on a Next Big Idea Club membership when you used code PODCAST at⁠ ⁠nextbigideaclub.com⁠⁠ ✉️ Get big ideas in your inbox with our daily newsletter.
