  • Faisal Hoque tells me AI might steal my job...or, it might not.
    Apr 1 2025

    My guest today is Faisal Hoque.

    He has a new book, Transcend: Unlocking Humanity in the Age of AI.

    This is a very hopeful conversation because Faisal definitely knows that there are always going to be things that people can do that AI and computers can't.

    Our conversation covers a lot of territory including frameworks to make your use of AI effective.

    We talk about humanity and the important things that AI can't do.

    We cover some of the hot topics like "will AI steal your job".

    This was a good one...especially when we hear so much stuff about AI. I found Faisal to be a voice of reason on the subject.
