AI Creating Original Science?

AI isn’t coming.

It’s already here — and it’s moving faster than anyone expected.

In this episode, Michael, co-founder of the AI4 Conference, breaks down what’s actually happening inside the AI world — from self-driving cars and humanoid robots to AI drone swarms, large world models, and why the skills parents are teaching kids today may be irrelevant in 10 years.

We talk about:

• AI drone swarms and existential risk

• Why humans won’t be driving cars much longer

• Self-driving safety vs human error

• Humanoid robots entering daily life

• Large World Models vs ChatGPT

• Why learning to code may no longer matter

• How education is being rewritten by AI

• Open-source vs closed-source AI

• Why AGI goalposts keep moving

• The one skill that still matters

This isn’t fear-mongering.

It’s a reality check on where the world is heading.
