At just 11 years old, Mustafa Suleyman started buying and reselling candy for profit in his modest London neighborhood. Many years later, he co-founded one of the most groundbreaking AI companies, DeepMind, which Google later acquired for £400 million. But while at Google, Mustafa felt things were moving too slowly with LaMDA, an AI project that eventually became Gemini. Convinced that the technology was ready for real-world impact, he left to co-found Inflection AI, aiming to build technology that feels natural and human. In this episode, Mustafa shares insights on how AI is quickly changing how we work and live, the challenges of using it responsibly, and what the future might hold. In this episode, Hala and Mustafa will discuss:  - The ethical challenges of AI development - How AI can be misused when in the wrong hands - AI: a super-intelligent aid at your fingertips - Why personalized AI companions are the future - Could AI surpass human intelligence? - Narrow AI vs. Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) - How Microsoft Copilot is transforming the future of work - A level playing field for everyone - How AI can transform entrepreneurship - How AI will replace routine jobs and enable creativity Mustafa Suleyman is the CEO of Microsoft AI and co-founder of DeepMind, one of the world’s leading artificial intelligence companies, now owned by Google. In 2022, he co-founded Inflection AI, which aims to create AI tools that help people interact more naturally with technology. An outspoken advocate for AI ethics, he founded the DeepMind Ethics & Society team to study the impact of AI on society. Mustafa is also the author of The Coming Wave, which explores how AI will shape the future of society and global systems. His work has earned him recognition as one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people in AI in both 2023 and 2024.

Seth Godin led 300 volunteers across 40 countries to build The Carbon Almanac, a comprehensive almanac on climate change. All these people worked hard for free not because of an efficient assembly-line structure, but because of Seth’s human-centric approach to work. He offered them dignity, fostered a sense of agency, and created the right environment for people to connect with meaningful work. In this episode, Seth explains why traditional work models are leading us on a “race to the bottom.” He also shares how to build high-trust teams that foster creativity and lead with significance. In this episode, Hala and Seth will discuss:  - Why work isn’t working anymore - Industrial Capitalism vs. Market Capitalism - How to rise by racing to the top - Why turnover is a good thing - How to create a culture of significance - What jobs will be taken away by AI - The four kinds of work - Why high-trust, high-stakes work is the future - Creating real agency and dignity at work - Why you can’t treat people like a resource - And other topics… Seth Godin is one of the top marketers of our generation. He is a renowned author of dozens of international bestsellers. Seth has founded several successful companies, including Yoyodyne, which he sold to Yahoo for $30 million. He also founded the altMBA, an online leadership workshop, The Carbon Almanac, a project focused on climate change, and Squidoo, one of the internet’s early popular community platforms. In 2013, Seth was one of just three professionals inducted into the Direct Marketing Hall of Fame. He was also inducted into the Marketing Hall of Fame in May 2018.
