What if AI isn’t just changing how we work — but who we are?
In this compelling episode of The Inner Entrepreneur, Paul sits down with Dr. Lollie Mancey — anthropologist, AI ethicist, educator, and champion of human-centered innovation — to explore the real conversation we need to be having about artificial intelligence: not just how it makes us faster, but how it shapes our future.
From humorous stories of AI boyfriends to sobering concerns about job loss, cultural fragmentation, and critical thinking, Dr. Mancey offers an eye-opening lens on:
• Why AI is a cognitive revolution, not just a digital one • How technology is reshaping culture, memory, and identity • The risk of creating a two-tier society — and what to do about it • Critical thinking and why it’s more urgent than ever • What every entrepreneur needs to know about designing for humanity • The unexpected truth about universal basic income and loneliness • Lessons from her own unconventional journey through academia, activism, and entrepreneurship
If you want to future-proof your business and your life — and stay human in the age of machines — this conversation is a must.
