Episode Title: ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธReshuffle: Navigating Shifting Goalposts in a Restacked World๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

This week, Heads Talk pauses the BRICS & Geopolitics Series for a conversation that demanded its own stage, so much so it became a two-parter. Reshuffle.

The episode echoes earlier chats with previous guests, where philosophical โ€œhideoutsโ€ were intentional, not accidental. Here, we cover beyond the technical into societal, geopolitical and the human. Many would argue the real impact of AI on business and life, reflecting themes from my guestโ€™s new book.

Sangeet Paul Choudary, author of Reshuffle: Who Wins When AI Restacks the Knowledge Economy, shapes thinking globally, from advising governments to influencing policy at the World Economic Forum, the G20, and across Europe and Asia. Scholar meets strategist, he unpacks some of todayโ€™s most pressing and profound shifts in this space.

We discuss how AI isnโ€™t just changing business models, itโ€™s reshaping the foundations of economies and societies. Expect a conversation where research, policy, and practice converge, offering fresh perspectives on risks, opportunities, and human meaning in a reshuffled world.

I had early access to Reshuffle, which allowed me to craft the flow of this conversation. Thanks to Tripta Dutta for making it happen, and to Paolo Sironi for the introduction. When Paolo recommends a guest, you listen.ย 

Links to Sangeetโ€™s book in the comments. This is a Reshuffle week on Heads Talk. If that's not enough, check out Paoloโ€™s Bankerโ€™s Book podcast, where Sangeet shares use cases on AIโ€™s impact.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

Itโ€™s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off Americaโ€™s third largest cash heist. But itโ€™s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular โ€˜ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
