63% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.
And as AI begins changing the way we work, millions of people are asking the same question:
Will this technology create more opportunity, or make the divide even bigger?
David Friedberg believes the answer depends on how we understand and use AI and that history gives us a reason to be optimistic.
David is a scientist-entrepreneur who built a $1.1 billion company by combining science, technology and business. He has spent his career trying to understand how innovation can solve some of humanity’s biggest problems.
After founding The Climate Corporation, a company that transformed farming technology before being acquired by Bayer, he’s now focused on the future of AI, biology and the technologies that could define the next era of human progress.
We discussed things like:
- How a wave of socialism could come to America by 2028 - Why AI might create more opportunity instead of destroying work - Previous technology revolutions that changed jobs rather than eliminating humans - How AI could transform healthcare, food and science - Why he believes we underestimate what humans are capable of - What happens when technology becomes cheaper and available to everyone
David doesn’t look at AI through fear or hype. He looks at it through the lens of history, economics and human potential.
And one thing became clear during this conversation: AI isn’t just going to change the jobs we do - it could change the way we think about work, wealth and opportunity.
If technology creates more abundance than ever before, the biggest question becomes: who benefits from it?
David offers a perspective on AI that challenges one of the biggest fears surrounding the future of work.
