Welcome to Part 2 of “Will Artificial Intelligence Replace Humans?”Today, Dan and Mike will wrap up this 2-part podcast by uncovering a few key principles that all entrepreneurs need to know in order to survive what’s inevitably coming.If there’s one thing they know, it’s that AI will continue to advance and become smarter and faster.For the inexperienced entrepreneur, it’s creating a lot of worry and fear and Mike thinks he knows why…We’ve already seen robots replace factory workers in assembly-line industries. Phone operators, telemarketers, and even receptionists are a thing of the past for many businesses. Many pharmacies are replacing their technicians with robots capable of separating and handling prescriptions...The next logical question is… Is your industry or skill set next?Mike thinks it depends. Luckily, there are a few things that you can do about it. Simple things, that if implemented, won’t just provide “job security” but change the way you do business.Here's a hint as to what it is that separates you from any robot out there… It’s the “human element.”Tune into the whole episode and it will explain everything.

The Evolution of Human LaborFasten your seatbelt because you’re in for a wild ride!In today’s episode, Dan and Mike started off talking about AI and the evolution of human labor, but that quickly evolved into a conversation about being able to spend all of your time in your own, “Amplified State.”Or as Dan called it, YOU AMPLIFIED! (Full disclosure… Mike loved the term so much that he actually registered the domain while they were recording.)Think about the evolution of man… We started out as hunters, and then as communities started growing, we became workers. Farmers initially, but then we started turning towards knowledge, and that meant becoming creators.The next evolution is NARRATORS.What's happening today is that there's AI technology that allows you to speak what you want, and the AI writes it for you.Mike listened to a podcast the other day that was completely created by an AI. It was a conversation between Joe Rogan and Steve Jobs, and for the most part, it sounded fairly believable.Facebook just came out with an AI system that generates videos from text, and Elon Musk recently talked about a new $20,000 robot that he wants to put in his factories, leveraging all of the data acquired from self-driving cars.Imagine if you had a $20,000 robot. What would you have it do that would create huge additional capabilities for you?Then Dan brought up a VERY good point. “There's a big difference between human intelligence and AI intelligence… AI is NOT coming up with the ideas. It doesn't have dreams or meaning. It just takes what already exists and reconfigures it.”WOW. This was one of the most inspirational episodes that Dan and Mike have done in a long time. It really got Mike's wheels turning, and you'll get a ton out of it too.And BONUS… this is part one of two, so make sure to watch out for the conclusion next week.Start by listening to Part One TODAY!Key Takeaways(02:07) SO much new technology is happening right now!

It’s a personal communication device and a music player!”A day that will surely go down in history, but here’s the most extraordinary part… If you google what devices the iPhone replaced, you’ll find a list of 101 items:Wrist WatchPedometerVCR/ DVD PlayerTelevisionGames of all sortsRadioAnd the list goes on and on…But if you thought that the iPhone was big… This is infinitely BIGGER!I’m talking about Artificial Intelligence and it’s happening NOW. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve heard about it but what you may not know is that every single day it’s getting faster, more accurate, and smarter.“I am really quite close to the cutting edge in AI, and it scares the hell out of me… It’s capable of vastly more than almost anyone knows, and the rate of improvement is exponential. Unless we learn how to prepare for, and avoid the potential risks, AI could be the worst event in the history of our civilization.” – Elon MuskIn today’s episode, we uncover 5 Scary Ways Ai is Changing Our Reality and what that means for your future.We’ll also talk about the biggest industries (by revenue) that Ai has already taken over and what those changes mean for you and me.And in case this all freaks you out a bit… we’ll show you how you can use this unique opportunity in history as a stepping stone, rather than a stumbling block.The future has arrived, my friend.
