"I was wrong," confesses Dr. Daniel Duma, "I used to think as a software engineer that my job would be the last one to go. Then I realized we might be better at automating ourselves than anyone else's job." This startling insight launched Daniel on a journey that would transform his outlook from anxiety about AI to excitement about what might be the greatest entrepreneurial opportunity of our lifetimes.
In this riveting conversation, the AI researcher and ex-Google engineer who has rubbed shoulders with industry titans like Geoffrey Hinton (the "Godfather of AI" and Nobel Prize winner) and Jensen Huang (NVIDIA CEO) shares his vision of a world where a single person with AI agents could build a billion-dollar company—a world that's arriving faster than most realize.
Discover why experts are actually 10X more valuable in the AI age (not less), which uniquely human skills will command premium value, and how to position yourself at the forefront of this revolution. Daniel shares candid reflections from his journey from academic AI research to building multiple startups, including his current venture Kami - an AI co-founder for entrepreneurs.
From digital nomad challenges to the intersection of AI and longevity science, this conversation offers practical advice for navigating the most significant technological shift of our lifetimes. Whether you're a remote worker, digital nomad, or aspiring entrepreneur, Daniel's perspective on "riding the damn robots" will challenge how you think about your future in the AI economy.
This interview expands on themes from Daniel's viral keynote "The Future is Now" at Nomad Summit 2025, where he demonstrated AI coding a game in minutes and introduced the concept of the "ultrapreneur" — someone who leverages AI to build substantial businesses with minimal human resources.
