Summary
Nick Bostrom saw the AI revolution coming before it was taken seriously. When he warned about superintelligence in 2014, AI risk was dismissed by mainstream academia and the public. Now, as AI reshapes the future of work and human purpose, he has moved from warning about its risks to exploring a future where AI solves everything, and humans are left searching for new meaning. In this episode, Nick shares how artificial intelligence could end human labor and what that means for purpose, entrepreneurship, and humanity’s future.
