A Bigger View of the Future, with Futurist Roger Spitz | Ep. 115

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that dives deep into the future. Today, we're tackling the big questions: from the perceived biases of AI in sustainability to the anxieties that keep business executives up at night. We'll explore the seismic shift in corporate engagement with politics, the exhilarating yet perplexing journey of AI growth, and the crucial balance between hyped and under-hyped AI capabilities. Join us as we navigate the complexities of future trends, challenge prevailing mental paradigms, and seek answers to the pervasive sense of pessimism that often overshadows our potential for a better future.
