AI Futures is a serialized problem-space exploration of artificial intelligence and its quiet disruption of modern society. This is not a sci-fi podcast. There are no killer robots, no sentient machines, and no sudden collapse.

Just today’s economic, educational, and institutional systems trying to survive tomorrow’s logic. The result is a slow-motion unraveling: Labor becomes inefficient rather than obsolete Income disappears before demand does Productivity rises while value circulation collapses Entire populations lose relevance without failing Told across five cumulative
