    Why AI Could Leave Us Without Jobs (Calum Chace Explains) | Voices From The Future (2036)
    Oct 29 2026
    By 2036, there is a 50 per cent chance AGI has already arrived, says futurist Calum Chace. Almost nobody is planning for it.Cop a copy of my books NOW: https://ademolaodewade.comGet paid to help train the AI models reshaping work: Ethos (paid link): https://agent.askethos.com/refer/nd01w7e2eelwPut your expertise to work on frontier AI projects: Mercor (paid link): https://t.mercor.com/neABbTurn your AI strategy into a board-ready deck in minutes: Gamma (paid link): https://try.gamma.app/f2d4kygskm1hBuild and test your first AI agent workflows without code: Make (paid link): https://www.make.com/en/register?pc=kingdemspodcastThis is Episode 1 of Voices From The Future (2036), a new series on The King Dems Podcast and Diary of a CFO. Each episode asks one of the world's leading futurists, founders or finance leaders what the decade to 2036 will demand of leaders, and what they should do now so it does not catch them by surprise.The biggest risk from superintelligence is not the machines. It is that almost nobody is planning for it.Calum Chace, known to many as "the AI guy", is a futurist, keynote speaker and bestselling author of Surviving AI and The Economic Singularity. He is one of five co-founders of Conscium and its Chief Marketing Officer. Conscium explores whether machines can become conscious and runs an agent verification platform. Before writing about AI, Calum spent 30 years in journalism and business, including at KPMG.Calum grew up on Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke and Philip K. Dick, but assumed human-level AI was centuries away. Then in 1999 he read Ray Kurzweil and realised superintelligence could arrive in his lifetime. Colleagues tired of hearing about it and called him "the AI guy" sarcastically. He kept the name. After retiring in 2011 he fell into writing and speaking about AI, and found the books became marketing for the talks rather than the other way round.In this episode:Why Calum estimates 99.9999 per cent of humanity is "sleepwalking into the future"The five human revolutions (fire, cognition, agriculture, industry, information) and why AI is not the fourth industrial revolutionWhy AGI is a fleeting moment and superintelligence is the issue that mattersThe "jagged edge": judgement, volition, common sense and a world model that AI still lacksCalum's timeline: possibly 10 to 20 years, and a 50 per cent chance of AGI by 2035The economic singularity, a term Calum coined in 2016, and why economists must design the post-automation economy nowShadow AI and the "phony war": why most large companies have not deployed AI at scale yetConscium's five levels of AI agents and why agents need verifying before and during deploymentAdemola's offload, extend and elevate model for AI agentsHost and guest disagree: Ademola argues AI will remain a tool given uneven adoption across Africa and the developing world. Calum counters that this argues for slow dispersal, not against arrival, pointing to how fast smartphones and large language models spreadCalum Chace, futurist and co-founder of Conscium, on superintelligence, AGI, the economic singularity, AI agents and the future of work, on The King Dems Podcast with Ademola Odewade.More from Calum Chace:Website: https://calumchace.comConscium: https://conscium.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/calum-chace-bb68168/Hosted by Ademola Odewade: chartered accountant, author of Human-Led, AI-Powered Finance (foreword by Professor Dave Ulrich) and Founder of K-DEMS Consulting.The King Dems Podcast: Growth Mindset, Leadership, AI and Business Insights.

She is the pioneer of Applied Anthropology Thinking (AAT)™, studied at York University and ran planning at a large advertising agency before going out on her own. Human Branding now has more than 40 people working across North America, Europe, Asia and Latin America, with clients including 11 of the world's top 20 pharmaceutical companies and brands such as Nestlé, Visa and Logitech. She is an EY Entrepreneur Of The Year 2026 Ontario finalist, an EY Winning Women 2025 honoree and a 100 Women to Know Winner 2026.In this episode:Why Johanna works on the principle that roughly 80 per cent of decision making sits at the unconscious and subconscious level (her working rule, not a cited study)Why she places almost zero value on the answer to a direct questionEvery business problem is a human problem: why doctors who say in surveys they will prescribe a drug still do notApplied Anthropology Thinking (AAT)™, the approach she created when she founded Human BrandingThe Who Say Do principle: who people are, how they say things and what they actually doTen years with no holidays: the unglamorous reality of building a bootstrapped consultancyWhy saying no protects a company's vision more than saying yesHow Human Branding uses AI: a closed model built about five years ago, with Johanna reporting 30 per cent efficiency gains overall and 80 per cent on analytic grunt workWhere they differ: Ademola asks what AI will do better than humans in anthropology, and Johanna is not convinced it will do anything better, only that it frees people for the human workHer one piece of advice to women founders: your difference is your advantageJohanna Faigelman, cultural anthropologist and founder and CEO of Human Branding, on consumer behaviour, decision making, Applied Anthropology Thinking, bootstrapping and human-led AI, on The King Dems Podcast and Diary of a CFO with Ademola Odewade.What is Applied Anthropology Thinking?It is Johanna Faigelman's approach to using anthropology's methods, especially ethnography, to uncover the hidden drivers of customer behaviour and turn them into marketing and strategy. She built Human Branding around it in 2006.Can AI replace market research?Johanna's view is no. AI speeds up the analysis of transcripts and data, but the insight that changes behaviour depends on human wisdom that is often not captured in language at all.More from Johanna Faigelman: ⁠https://humanbranding.com⁠ · ⁠linkedin.com/in/johannafaigelman⁠Hosted by Ademola Odewade: chartered accountant, author of Human-Led, AI-Powered Finance (foreword by Professor Dave Ulrich) and Founder of K-DEMS Consulting.The King Dems Podcast.

    Why Great Leaders Sound Different (BBC-Trained Voice Coach Explains)

He began in 1980s London at a Soho production company making music videos for Wham!, Dire Straits and A-ha, then joined the BBC as an assistant film editor. In 2010 he founded All Voice Talent, where he is Managing Director. He has spent more than 30,000 hours in recording studios as a producer and director, produced the English-language teen radio drama Songbirds for RTHK and now coaches leaders from law firms, financial institutions, hotels and fashion brands in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Australia, the Middle East and London.About 20 years ago he was told that growing his business meant leaving the quiet of the studio for stages, workshops and online video. He faced that fear, made mistakes in public and built the self-belief he now teaches.In this episode:- The three communication mistakes that weaken executive presence: speaking too fast, a monotone delivery and filler words- A slightly slower pace reads as authority; rapid delivery reads as nerves- The emphasis pause before a key figure and the rhetorical question pause before the answer- Chunking: mark a script with slash marks and stress one word per chunk, what Pope calls "audio punctuation"- Speakers who think they paused for five seconds usually paused for half a second- Gravitas is a balance of authority, energy and warmth, not a booming voice- In 2012 Center for Talent Innovation research, 5 per cent of senior executives named appearance and 28 per cent communication as core to executive presence; 67 per cent named gravitas- Pope's Voice Influence Framework: voice, presence and messaging- Why communication becomes more valuable as AI spreads: voiceover artists are already losing work to AI, but live, bespoke human feedback cannot be replaced- Pope says charisma can be developed; Ademola argues it is largely naturalDavid Pope, founder of All Voice Talent, on executive presence, gravitas, communication in the AI era and his Voice Influence Framework, on The King Dems Podcast with Ademola Odewade.How can I sound more confident in meetings?Slow down slightly, vary your intonation and drop filler words. Record yourself first to find out which one you need to fix.What is gravitas in executive presence?A voice that balances authority with energy and warmth. It is not a low, booming voice.More from David Pope: https://www.allvoicetalent.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/popedavidHosted by Ademola Odewade: chartered accountant, author of Human-Led, AI-Powered Finance (foreword by Professor Dave Ulrich) and Founder of K-DEMS Consulting.The King Dems Podcast.
