Event Horizon : EP 1 : AI Isn’t Coming - It’s Already Controlling Your Daily Life

Welcome to Event Horizon, the podcast that cuts through the hype and fear to bring you clear, practical understanding of artificial intelligence.

I’m Travis de Jonk — digital strategist, ethicist, broadcast journalist, transformation expert and long-time futurist. After 20+ years inside newsrooms, entertainment networks and public health systems, I’ve created this series to raise digital literacy and give you the truth about AI: what it is, how it works, and why it affects every part of your life.

In this episode:

✔ Why AI isn’t new — and why you’ve been using it for years

✔ The hidden motivations that built modern AI

✔ Why everything online is manufactured

✔ The difference between what AI is vs. what people think it is

✔ Why digital literacy is now a survival skill

✔ And what’s coming in future episodes — including “Is AI conscious?”
