Could Human Decision Making Become Illegal? — Igor Van Gemert on the power of boredom and making the world a better place.
from The MikeyG Podcast Experience · host MikeyG
Igor Van Gemert has been taking things apart since he was a kid. TVs. Systems. His own life. Multiple times. He moved constantly as a child, joined the military at 18 because he had no idea what to do, got funded at 27, ended up at a VIP table in Miami feeling completely empty, and started over from scratch. This conversation covers the full arc, from building analog image synthesizers as a 12-year-old in the Netherlands to inventing EV charging infrastructure, studying at Singularity University alongside Peter Diamandis, and now building AI orchestration systems at The Last Consultants. We go deep on why boredom might be the most underrated creative force, what the military teaches you about the power of a simple idea, and why Igor believes we're approaching a moment where human decision-making alone won't be enough for the systems we've built. One of the most honest, wide-ranging conversations I've had on this show.Connect with Igor: https://www.linkedin.com/in/igorvangemert/Connect with Mikey G: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mjgcreative/#AgenticAI #SyntheticWorkforce #Boredom #Abetterfuture #AISafety #HumanAICoexistence #humanconnection #TheMikeyGPodcastExperience
