When AI Grow Up

When AI Grow Up

When AI Grow Up What kind of future are we raising our kids into? I'm Peter Ostick — entrepreneur, investor, and father to three kids (13, 4, and 1). In When AI Grow Up, I’m interviewing founders, educators, futurists, and technologists to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping not just our work — but the world our children will inherit. We dig into the big questions: – How will AI change education? – What jobs will still exist (and what new ones will be born)? – What kind of society are we building? This isn’t about hype or fear. It’s about understanding — so we can better prepare ourselves, and the next generation, for the world that’s coming fast. New episodes weekly.

In this podcast, I use Will & Ariel Durant's book Lessons from history to examine why there is a tension between freedom and equality.

"Nature smiles at the union of freedom and equality in our utopias.  For freedom and equality are sworn and everlasting enemies, and when one prevails the other dies."

I look at examples such as Andrew Carnegie, Bill Gates, John D Rockefeller and Jeff Bezos and question are some people just better e...

I want to dive into the Roman Stoic’s and in particular why the believed tranquillity or peace of mind should be an ultimate goal.

One of the areas that I have thought a lot about over the years, is the financial sustainability of social ventures. I think it's fair to say that my track record on this is mixed.
 
The positive intention has without doubt been there. 
 
For example, I started writing the outline for the business that became TVN in the foreword of the book by Mathew Bishop Philanthrocapitalism
