The idea that AI will eventually scan, predict, and even influence behavior is no longer hypothetical—it’s unfolding. The real question is: who decides what AI optimizes for? I just started a ten-part series on this.

Whether in advertising, employment decisions, or governance, AI-driven oversight isn’t just tracking—it’s shaping priorities in ways that often go unseen. If AI is structuring ad engagement, determining job retention, and filtering whose voices get amplified, what feedback loops are being created? And who is responsible for ensuring those loops serve more than just efficiency?

I would love to hear more about where we expect to see new jobs emerging.

There are a lot of stats cited about increased productivity and economic growth but very few clues on what new jobs will actually look like for those displaced, who are not in AI-related tech or associated fields.

Even Deepmind co-founder Mustafa Suleyman admits to serious concerns about "AI's potential to put large numbers of people out of work."

In his book, The Coming Wave, he says "in the past, new jobs were created at the same time as old ones were made obsolete, but what if AI could simply do most of those as well?" It nags at me.

Anyway, love your work!
