About me
Let’s answer the question, “How do we robot-proof our kids, ourselves, and our society?”
I wanted to write a book that captures all of the crazy, funny, heart-breaking firehose that is my talks on stage. Robot-Proof is 25 years working in AI and nearly as long see people make the same mistakes over and over again. It's always about us, the often ugly but sometimes amazing choices we make. Let's answer:
- What predicts long-term life outcomes across millions of little kids?
- What drives career success in both hyper-networked salespeople and hyper-nerdy programmers?
- Why is the Informational-Exploration Paradox the most terrifying phenomenon you’ve never heard of?
- Why are ill-posed problems the future work, education, and a robot-proof humanity?
- What predicts the smartest team, and how will AI change it?
