How To Outrun Artificial Intelligence: Ashley Recanati on protecting YOUR job from the voracious smart machines of the AI revolution

EPISODE 1349: In this KEEN ON show, Andrew talks to AI BATTLE ROYALE author Ashley Marc Recanati about how to protect your job from the disruption of the 4th Industrial Revolution of smart machines

Over the past twenty years, Ashley Recanati has lived and worked in the three powerhouses that are Europe, the U.S. and China, rising from odd jobs to general management through financial control, thanks in part to the continuous learning and implementation of automation tools. Meanwhile he developed a keen awareness of the contrast between the latest evolving technologies and actual working habitats in offices, factories, and retail. Despite the broad consensus among experts on the dire effects that new tech will have on employees, a blatant gap persists in terms of advice as to how they can prepare for the disruption. His 2023 book, AI Battle Royale, is the fruit of research conducted over five years to remedy this gap.
