You made 47 decisions before you even got to work this morning. Buthere's the thing—you probably only consciously made about 15 of them. The rest?Artificial intelligence made them for you.
Your alarm clock's wake-up time, optimized for your sleep cycle. Yourcommute route, calculated around real-time traffic. Your morning news feed,curated by algorithms that know you better than your best friend.
Welcome to 2025, where AI isn't coming—it's already here. And it'sfundamentally changing what it means to be human.
I'm Summer, and today on the Duke Tyner podcast, we're diving deep intothe AI revolution. The numbers, the innovations, the fears, and theextraordinary future being built right now.
Let's talk about artificial intelligence.
THE INVISIBLE DECISION MAKER
Let's start with a stat that shouldmake you pause and think.
Artificial intelligence is already making 68% of the decisions youencounter in your daily life.
Think about that. More than two-thirds of the choices affecting your dayaren't being made by you, or even by other humans. They're being made byalgorithms.
Your GPS route to work? AI analyzed millions of data points about trafficpatterns, accidents, construction, and historical trends to determine thefastest path.
The price you see when shopping online? AI dynamically adjusted it basedon demand, your browsing history, competitor pricing, and predicted willingnessto pay.
Your medical diagnosis at the doctor's office? Increasingly, AI isanalyzing your symptoms, cross-referencing millions of medical cases, andsuggesting the most likely conditions.
Even your credit card approval or denial? AI risk assessment models madethat call in milliseconds.
Now, here's the question: Is this good or bad?
The answer is... complicated. Because AI decision-making isn't inherentlygood or evil. It's a tool. And like any tool, it depends on how it's designed,who controls it, and what values are embedded in it.
But one thing is certain—we can't ignore it anymore. AI isn't thefuture. It's the present. And understanding how it works is now as essential asunderstanding how money works or how democracy works.
