The AI Future Nobody Is Ready For: Entrepreneurship and Human Connection | Peter Swain
Tuesday, 2 June, 2026
Peter Swain has spent his life at the forefront of technological disruption. From becoming one of the world’s first web developers, to helping shape early mobile app strategy with Apple and Steve Jobs, to now advising entrepreneurs on artificial intelligence, Peter has built a career around seeing what’s coming before the rest of the world catches up. In this episode, Peter shares why AI is fundamentally different from every technology shift before it, why he believes the next five years will completely reshape business and society, and why entrepreneurs who ignore AI may not survive what’s coming next. But this conversation goes far beyond automation and business strategy. Peter dives into parenting in an AI world, human connection, creativity, education, relationships, and the deeper question of what still makes us human when AI can do almost everything better than we can. From autonomous weapons and deepfakes to solopreneur millionaires and AI-powered businesses, this is one of the most fascinating and thought-provoking conversations we’ve had on the podcast. If you are curious, excited, skeptical, or even terrified about the future of AI, this episode is for you.
