Hosts: Dr. Simba Tirima & Gitari Tirima Episode Overview Artificial intelligence isn’t just changing the tools of work, it goes much deeper than that. It’s changing how we find purpose, earn dignity, and coordinate with one another. In this episode, Simba and Tari ground the ‘future of work’ in today’s realities. They cover Kenya’s informal economy, shifting skills, and new ways of organizing like DAOs. They share practical moves you can take this week to pair people + AI, redesign roles, and build locally relevant co‑pilots without the hype. Hopeful, hands‑on, and human. This episode is about fluency, not fear. Key Themes & Highlights Evidence over hype: what 2025 data says about tasks, skills, and job churn. Why AI literacy is becoming baseline. Why leadership is the bottleneck. From “human prompter” to IA co‑pilot: how roles upgrade. Designing workflows, evaluating outputs, and keeping human values in the loop. New coordination models: DAOs, transparent decisions, and micro‑bounties. Why on‑chain governance can unlock high‑trust, distributed work. Kenya & Africa lens: avoid import‑and‑imitate traps. Build local language tools and SME co‑pilots that fit real contexts. Five Moves for Monday: literacies, role redesign, pilot coordination, Kenya‑specific co‑pilots, and a simple workflows journal.

Hosts: Dr. Simba Tirima & Gitari Tirima Episode Overview Artificial intelligence is no longer science fiction. it’s reshaping how we live, work, and even imagine what it means to be human. In this episode, father-and-son duo Simba and Tari grapple with the promise and perils of AI: from breathtaking innovations in medicine, education, and agriculture, to unsettling questions about bias, job loss, disinformation, loneliness, and control. Along the way, they share stories of lived experience from Tari’s days as a “human prompter” while they  wrestle with what remains uniquely human in an age of intelligent machines. This is not a panic or a pep talk, it’s an honest, hopeful invitation to reflect on how we can shape the AI revolution rather than simply survive it.   Key Themes & Highlights Intelligence Redefined: AI as IA “intelligence augmentation” rather than a distant villain. Why language, mindset, and empathy still matter.
