AI Won’t Replace Us. But It Might Reveal Who We Really Are. (ft. Jeff Burningham, author & entrepreneur)
As AI reshapes the world faster than most of us can process, we’re left with an uncomfortable question: What does it really mean to be human now?
This week on FUTUREPROOF., Jeremy sits down with Jeff Burningham — tech entrepreneur, investor, and author of The Last Book Written by a Human — to explore how we can cultivate wisdom, purpose, and empathy in an age obsessed with speed, scale, and artificial intelligence.
Jeff’s story is as surprising as it is inspiring: from Mormon missionary to real estate mogul, from political candidate to spiritual seeker. After years of building billion-dollar companies, he found himself confronting a deeper question — not how to make more, but how to matter more.
In this episode, Jeff and Jeremy discuss:
- Why becoming wiser, not just smarter, is the next competitive advantage
- How technology mirrors our consciousness — including our biases and blind spots
- Why the future of leadership depends on emotional and moral intelligence
- What it means to design an economy — and a life — centered on meaning, not metrics
- And how AI’s reflection of us can become humanity’s greatest teacher
Whether you’re a founder navigating AI disruption or a curious human trying to stay grounded in a digital age, this conversation will remind you that wisdom — not code — may be the ultimate frontier.
