Real World Trend: AI & The Future
This week, the episode unpacks the signals of change around AI and what to watch for change. This episode is not whether it's good or bad, but what it's already signalling about your future, your kids' future, and how ready you actually are for what's coming.
Three generations, three completely different realities. Plus: the free prompt that tells you exactly what any app on your phone is really doing with your data, before you download it.
In This Episode
- The Instagram creator handing her family's entire digital footprint to AI — passport, property documents, family photos, facial ID — and why “the horse has already bolted” is the wrong way to think about risk.
- Three generations, three realities: how Diane (Gen X), Jessica (Millennial) and Gen Z are living completely different AI stories but they all end with uncertainty about what's next.
- AI's biggest forces of change — across power, jobs, trust, family and identity.
- Why critical thinking, not AI fluency, is the real skill of the next few years.
- The regulation gap — why governments, local and global, are already behind, again.
- Jessi Jean's story, and the free prompt built in response to help you check any app's privacy risk before you download it.
- Why strategy — not just “inner work” — is the missing half of navigating uncertainty, and how it fits into your Career and Digital Pivot.
