With your Permission, We'll even play your message live on the air!What happens when artificial intelligence changes the world faster than humanity can adapt?In this episode of They Call Me Mista Yu, I sit down with Guy Morris, an extraordinary business leader, AI pioneer, musician, composer, entrepreneur, and award-winning thriller author.Guy's life story is remarkable in its own right.After escaping an abusive childhood at age 13, he became a homeless runaway and worked alongside migrant workers before earning three degrees by age 25.His career eventually took him into some of the world's most influential technology and energy organizations, including IBM, Oracle, Microsoft, and Occidental Petroleum, where he worked in strategy, operations, capital planning, mergers and acquisitions, and the early adoption of AI expert systems.He's led startups, built high-performance teams, pioneered technology, traveled the world, composed music, sailed across oceans, and written deeply researched thrillers exploring technology, science, economics, history, religion, corruption, and power.Now Guy has turned his attention directly toward one of the biggest questions facing humanity:What happens next?His nonfiction book, The AI Tsunami: A Survival Guide for Humanity, explores the coming wave of artificial intelligence and what individuals and small businesses can do to survive—and potentially thrive—in the middle of it.In this conversation, we explore:Guy's extraordinary journey from homelessness to technology leadershipThe early days of artificial intelligence and expert systemsHow today's AI revolution compares with previous technological disruptionsWhy Guy calls AI a "tsunami"What AI could mean for jobs and careersThe changing value of human skillsHow small businesses can prepare for AILeadership in an age of rapid technological changeThe risks and opportunities AI presentsWhy critical thinking matters more than everThe responsibility humans have for how AI developsWhat the next decade could mean for business and societyThis isn't simply a conversation about technology.It's a conversation about humanity.Because the most important question may not be:"What will AI become?"It may be:"What will we become because of it?"Our team will choose random (but timely) episodes from our previous three seasons (which are our most popular ever!) to share with our listeners during the slower parts of a long podcast season.
