035: The AI Revolution: Radical Changes on the Horizon – Ben Hammersley

Ben Hammersley is a futurist, but that’s not how he started his career some 20 years ago. Similar to so many of us, his career path has evolved into something he absolutely loves as he helps companies and individuals create a more productive and effective workspace.

WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW:

  • Discussion Focus: Ben Hammersley and Mikkel Thorup discuss the role of futurists in helping Big Corporate America implement AI and how individuals can radically change their lives using Ben’s concepts.
  • Corporate Reality: Many companies want to be innovative but still use outdated systems and technologies. Moving into the future requires updating current practices and systems.
  • Futurism: A fascinating topic that emphasizes the importance of asking key questions before implementing changes:
    • What problem am I solving? (the why)
    • If solving this problem for the first time with modern tools, how would I do it?
  • Incremental Changes: Making 2-3 changes per month can lead to significant yearly improvements, bringing individuals and businesses into the future.
  • AI in Companies: Ben discusses which major companies have embraced AI successfully and which have resisted innovation.
  • Key Insight: The conversation focused more on micro changes in daily life and business rather than grand AI theories.
  • Ben’s Advice: Pay attention to daily occurrences and take responsibility for your life.
