Nobody, irrespective of how powerful they think they are, can ever take away your intellectual legacy! So make sure you build a very strong one that is not limited by geographical borders.

The conversation on AI continues. Like every major change in history, AI will have its frontrunners and its bystanders. Walala wasala. If you snooze, you lose. But still, there’s no need to panic. Whatever discipline you are in, don’t be anxious about what you study.

Tomorrow we continue our conversation on AI and we focus on its use in the workplace (or even at school/varsity). When machines can do the job, how do we identify top performers? How do we measure real contribution? And more importantly, how can YOU stay relevant and
