Description

Welcome to Episode 19 of the DNAI Podcast , where we dive deep into the future of work—and the provocative possibility that humans may soon work for AI systems rather than the other way around. This week, hosts John, James, and Randy explore the bold prediction that by 2026, AI will take on supervisory roles, delegating tasks to humans and optimizing workflows beyond our current imagination.

From discussions about AI’s growing ability to manage processes and make decisions to philosophical reflections on what it means to “work” in an AI-driven world, this episode unpacks the opportunities and challenges ahead. Along the way, they tackle big questions: 

  • What happens when AI becomes the boss instead of the tool? 
  • How will society adapt to a workforce where humans serve machines? 
  • And is this shift inevitable—or can we shape its trajectory?

Pour yourself a glass of bourbon as we tackle these topics with humor, insight, and a touch of existential curiosity. Whether you’re a developer building cutting-edge AI systems, an entrepreneur leveraging AI for growth, or simply someone curious about the societal shifts driven by technology, this episode offers actionable insights and thought-provoking reflections on the road ahead.
