WOYM EP 21: AI vs Human Purpose and Reclaiming Citizen Power

This week, Ayisha and Ekene discuss power dynamics, from Artificial Intelligence to leadership and citizenship, where do we draw the line?

Are we ready for the profound shifts AI is bringing to our lives? Let’s examine the job loss, lost human connection, and whether we’re educating the next generation for a world that won’t exist

Also in this episode, Ekene asks, “why is the average citizen treated like a servant in Nigeria and across the continent?” 

This episode digs into the cultural and systemic roots of this dynamic and how we can finally turn things right-side up.
