THE FUTURE IS HERE

#024 – Martin Ford – Author "Rise Of The Robots"

Martin Ford is a New York Times Best-Selling Author. His book “The Rise Of The Robots” was the business book of the year in 2015. 

This was probably one of my favourite interviews so far. Martin is a visionary regarding AI and robotics. 

And in the interview, we both cover the “blue-collar” aspect. But more importantly, we dive into the white-collar disruption. 

What are the future jobs that are most likely still safe? Martin picks two areas. 

I am sure, you will enjoy the session as much as I did. And at the beginning of the episode, I have something special for you. 

So enjoy!
