Futurist Tom Koulopoulos returns, and his biggest concern about AI isn't robots, it's us. He reveals why the choice to ignore AI is like insisting on a manual typewriter in a world that's already gone digital. In this essential follow-up, Tom shares why he now spends 3-4 hours a day working with AI and busts the biggest 'yeah, but' holding people back: the fear of the unknown. Discover the real, seductive danger of AI that no one is talking about, and why he believes there is simply 'no pulling back'.
