Technology, Power, and the Twenty-first Century's Greatest Dilemma
Mustafa Suleyman
The Coming Wave delves into the impending technological revolution driven by AI and synthetic biology, arguing that this wave will have a more dramatic impact on humanity than any previous technological advancement. Suleyman discusses how these technologies will create immense prosperity but also threaten the nation-state and global order. He examines historical technological waves and their societal implications, proposing the 'containment problem' as the essential challenge of our age. The book explores the potential for catastrophic harms, overbearing surveillance, and the need to forge a path between catastrophe and dystopia. Suleyman offers 10 steps to contain the rapid expansion of these technologies, though he acknowledges the complexity and potential failure of such containment efforts[1][3][5].
AI isn’t just a passing trend—it’s a game-changer for solopreneurs looking to streamline and automate their businesses. Or is it?
I’ve always been AI hesitant, but I’ve also been using it a lot more. So today's guest, Damien Schreurs, and I discuss how AI is shifting from simple task automation to handling cognitive work, why people struggle to accept it, and how solopreneurs can embrace AI without losing their unique touch.
We also get really in the weeds with AI-powered workflows that save time, reduce manual work, and help you focus on what matters most in your business.
AI is the next big automation revolution. Just like electricity or the internet, AI is here to stay, and solopreneurs who adapt early will benefit the most.
AI isn’t a robot—it’s an automation tool for thinking tasks. AI models don’t create original ideas, but they can analyze, summarize, and assist in decision-making.
The best automation still needs human judgment. AI can process data, but it takes human experience to make strategic decisions and apply insights effectively.
