    When AI Replaces Jobs, Is UBI Inevitable? — with Dalibor Petrovic

    Send a text Artificial intelligence is accelerating faster than our institutions can adapt. If AI replaces a significant share of human labor, does Universal Basic Income become inevitable? Get my full report on how AI will impact the job markets: https://daniel-kafer.kit.com/477f1e886b Access my AI tools, that will put leaders one step ahead. Free access via skool: https://www.skool.com/the-strategic-edge-1049/about In this episode of Mindblowers, Daniel Kafer speaks with Dalibor Petrovic, founder of the Summit Leadership Alliance and former Senior Partner at Deloitte, about the structural consequences of AI-driven automation. Together, they explore whether UBI is a realistic solution, what happens during the messy middle of economic disruption, and how leaders should prepare for the turbulent decade ahead. This is not just a debate about welfare policy. It is a discussion about: • AI replacing jobs • Automation and wage pressure • The future of work • Economic restructuring in the age of AGI • The implementation gap between technology and institutions • How governments and companies respond to mass displacement As AI amplifies productivity and displaces certain roles, societies face a fundamental question: how do we maintain stability during rapid transformation? Dalibor brings experience from Deloitte’s Global CIO Program and his work advising organizations on AI strategy. Daniel frames the conversation around the broader macro shift shaping the next decade: acceleration, amplification, and adaptation. If you are a CEO, policymaker, investor, or strategist, this conversation will help you understand: – Whether Universal Basic Income is economically viable – What risks mass automation creates – Why the “messy middle” may be the most dangerous phase – How leaders can prepare before disruption peaks The next decade will be turbulent. But it will not be hopeless. The real question is not whether AI is coming. It is whether our systems evolve fast enough.

    The war on aging with Aubrey De Grey

    Send us a text Will rejuvenation technology arrive early enough for you? Download my free longevity briefing: Who Is Likely to Benefit from Longevity Escape Velocity — and why biological age matters 👉 https://daniel-kafer.kit.com/495e7b5d41 You can also access this file and all my free AI tools in my free Skool community: 👉 https://www.skool.com/the-strategic-edge-1049/about?ref=72a80d2abf964f3a8bf5889ea5e80407 This is an evidence-based estimation, not a promise or prediction. ⸻ Aging kills roughly 110,000 people every day. In this conversation, I sit down with Aubrey de Grey, one of the most influential and controversial figures in longevity science, to discuss the war on aging — and whether meaningful rejuvenation is likely to arrive in time to matter for people alive today. 00:00 – Why aging is the world’s biggest killer 03:05 – What the “war on aging” actually means 07:10 – Why most people misunderstand aging 14:35 – Why timelines for longevity differ so much 20:15 – What longevity escape velocity really requires 22:35 – Repair vs slowing aging: the core idea 32:00 – What animal experiments tell us (and don’t) 34:45 – “110,000 deaths a day” explained 41:20 – What could accelerate or delay progress 52:10 – Who might realistically benefit We explore:  • Why aging is the leading cause of death worldwide  • The idea of Longevity Escape Velocity and what it actually means  • Repair-based approaches to aging, rather than slowing decline  • Why timelines differ so dramatically between experts  • The role of AI, biotechnology, and translational bottlenecks  • Why biological age, not chronological age, will determine who benefits This is not a conversation about immortality. It is a conversation about damage, repair, timelines, and uncertainty. ⸻ About the PDF (reinforces click without hype) The linked briefing expands on one central question raised in this discussion: If effective rejuvenation therapies arrive in the coming decades, who is most likely to benefit — and why? The report:  • Compares major expert timelines (including Aubrey de Grey, Ray Kurzweil, and others)  • Explains why biological age matters more than birth year  • Uses probability ranges, not promises  • Is intended as a thinking tool, not a forecast
