Electricity reshaped the world — but it gave us nearly 50 years to adapt. From skepticism and fear of electrocution to the eventual marvel of lighted cities, society had time to adjust, regulate, and prepare for the future.
Artificial intelligence is different. In less than five years, AI has leapt from labs to boardrooms, classrooms, hospitals, and homes — disrupting entire industries without giving us decades to catch our breath.
In this episode, we explore:
What people thought about electricity when it first arrived
What people are saying about AI today — the fears, the optimism, and the unknowns
Why time is the one thing we don’t have with AI
Listen in as we compare two world-changing forces — one that unfolded slowly, and one that’s rewriting the rules of business and society at hyper-speed.
