Over 500 interviews on 6continents. A global ranking in top 0.5% to 3 % in endurance stats. That meanssomething. This interview with Michael Druckman, author of ‘Crunch Time-CareerPathways in the Age of AI ’, has to be one of the most important and HUGELYurgent interviews. It’s beyond urgent. Reminds me of a Nevil Shute book, On theBeach.’ The movie scared me. A nuclear war. Australia was the last placeunaffected by radioactivity. Words on banners in town. “There’s still time,Brother.’ No, there isn’t a lot of time, as AI changes our world every 15minutes. What about five years from now? Michael Druckman and Illah RezaNourbakhsh have written an essential, powerful, provocative book on AI forstudents, parents, academics- actually, all of us earth denizens- even seniorcitizens, as I loosen my collar. We’re not talking ten years or twenty yearsfrom now. Maybe five years. We, the species, need to be ready. The credentialsfor Michael and Illah are quite amazing. I’ve read the book, taken notes,absorbed it, and taken off my Rutgers hat. Serious move for me. Our interviewwas poignant. Michael is brilliant beyond grasp. Eloquent, devoted (via SchoolsThat Can, urban education), and passionate. As I like to do at this juncture,I'll deposit a few random words and thoughts from our interview. An enticement.Urgency. Sam Walton thought innovation was a risk. He just did it better. AI isNOT a spectator sport. University leaders are not prepared. A Californiauniversity is now looking for non-traditional students. Winston Churchill.Charles Dickens. Marshmallow test-delayed gratification. The Robots are coming.  $102 billion spent on human skills. $700billion spent on AI data centers.
